I’m an Artist and Creative Producer.

I grew up in the North York Moors National Park, graduating in 2009 from Newcastle University with a BA (Hons) Fine Art. I now live in Northumberland, working as an Artist & Creative Producer to create original works of art.

I co-produce large-scale projects with creative teams & communities that enable more people to take part & make decisions about arts & culture.

I worked as Creative Producer for Creative People and Places programmes across the North East of England for 9 years, including Museums Northumberland bait and Borderlands. Prior to that, I worked freelance in film, music and visual arts projects as well as for leading North East participatory arts charity Helix Arts for 6 years as Projects Assistant and later Project Manager.

I’ve curated exhibitions in professional galleries to community venues, produced live music performances with musicians, choirs, brass bands and young people for national and local events, commissioned outdoor arts events for heritage venues and more.

My training and practice as a visual artist, creating drawings and screenprints, enables me to bring a creative eye and curatorial experiences to projects.

I currently work freelance with clients across the North East, including as Associate Project: New Projects with Northumberland-based theatre company November Club.
