About me

An experienced and energetic freelance artist & educator passionate about the arts and creative approaches to learning with children and young people. A dedicated practitioner and advocate of the arts, culture and education whose interdisciplinary practice encompasses; drawing; painting; printmaking; photography; writing; and moving image with an emphasis on collaboration, skills sharing and exchange. From my work in schools, colleges and various arts spaces across the North I have become a strong believer in the centrality of the creative arts to catalyse imagination, well being and social cohesion and their capacity to support personal development, self-determination and identity. I am looking for new opportunities to share my skills and knowledge and to inspire children and young people to achieve their full potential through engagement in the arts.
