About
— About me and how to get in touch
Oh hey.
I make original multi-textured and layered encounters, experiences and spaces; mixing installation, media forms and craft. I’d describe my work as exploring what connects us as human beings and having fun blurring the lines between reality and art. I call myself a multi-disciplinary artist as I use a lorra different materials, tools, forms and techniques in my work. I’m effectively a big old magpie.
I love imagining something in my head and making it with my hands, the therapeutic power of craft and transforming environments to make them more joyful.
I’ve made work for over a decade which has flexed and grown with me as my interests and ways of working have changed, which you could say has resulted in a fairly eclectic archive of work, which I’ve attempted to group into categories to help you navigate…
Live Art & Performance work
Community/Participation driven work
Installation and Visual Art work
I’ve presented work at SPILL National Review of Live Art, BAC, Forest Fringe, Deptford X, The Late Shows Newcastle, The Basement Brighton, Camden People’s Theatre, RichMix, The Bluecoat, Barbican Plymouth, Shoreditch Town Hall, Queen’s Hall Hexham, Whitstable Biennale Satellite and on the streets of Manhattan via Art in Odd Places.
As well as delivering my own projects, I have been commissioned by a wide range of partners including NewcastleGateshead Initiative, Juice festival, bait and The Empty Space.
I am currently a Freelance Artist at BALTIC CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS
From 2013 - 2018 fellow artist Louise Orwin and I set up Lemonade and Laughing Gas to collaborate on immersive experiences for the public and private clients. I now run The Joy Eclectic where I get to use my love for set and spatial design for other businesses.
what I’m into & upto this season
Between 2020 and 2025 I’ve been focused on starting and raising a family. Now that I’m back, I’m starting to explore new ideas and ways of working as a mother of young children, approaching midlife. Follow me on Instagram (and soon - Substack) to stay upto date.
I’m now based thoroughly in London as I have to make projects that work around my whole family.
