I hold an unwavering belief in the power of art to transform people’s lives. Through collaborations and workshops in schools, healthcare settings and public spaces, I use playful approaches drawing, printing, painting and making to explore ways for creativity to build confidence, ignite conversation and bring joy.

My workshop focus is always on process, exploration and building creative independence - rather than a ‘step-by-step’, outcome-led approach.

I’ve worked in a variety of education and healthcare settings, ranging from pre-schoolers to adults in end-of-life care, children with SEND and mental health difficulties healthcare staff in need of an antidote. I taught adults and teenagers at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts and previously worked for mental health charity, Samaritans.

I’m a regular art mentor with Koestler Arts, providing direct support to ex-offenders looking to develop their creative practice in the first year after being released.

A featured artist as part of their AccessArt Gestural Drawing with Charcoal Talking Point, I also write curriculum resources for AccessArt.

Previous collaborations include: Affordable Art Fair, Artbox London, Breathe Arts Health Research, Bright Futures UK, North London Hospice, London Irish Centre, Central Saint Martins UAL and various primary schools and early years settings across the UK.
