I am a socially engaged artist, researcher and illustrator based in Bristol. I work with people who find themselves on the margins for one reason or another, and issues of belonging, place and cultural exchange are central to my practice. I design and deliver creative interactions, inviting people to be part of an art process in a relaxed and expressive way.

I am in my second year of a PhD as part of the Postgraduate Research Programme in the College of Health and Social Sciences at UWE. My study explores how relationally engaged arts-based methods can be develop to support minoritised children to express, reflect on, and amplify their lived experiences.    

I am currently working on the impact phases of two interdisciplinary projects with teams from UWE:
Racialised Experiences Project: Education, Children & Trust (RESPECT)
&
Voices in a Pandemic: Children’s Lockdown Experiences Applied to Recovery (VIP-CLEAR).

You can read more about these projects under the heading Arts based research.

In my studio I have been working on a series of self portraits exploring hidden characteristics and everyday practices. I also have an ongoing exploration of finding ephemeral, site-specific ways of sharing work in places where art is not usually shown.
