CV
Since 1992 I have chosen to work part-time in the arts, and to make time to develop my own practice. This has included organising exhibitions of solo and group shows, commissions and artist's residencies.

Profile
For over twenty years I have been developing and prioritising my own practice as a visual
artist alongside my work as a community artist, teacher, organiser and facilitator.
During this time I have worked with a wide range of groups and organisations
(including 3 years at AS and A level at Hills Road Sixth Form College Cambridge) as
a commitment to my own and to other people’s creativity. My adaptability,
spontaneity and flexibility of approach to working across a range of contemporary
media and my commitment to both the process and final product, are the basis for this
practice. I am a good communicator and have the ability to engage individuals from
diverse backgrounds, abilities and ages through the provision of vibrant and exciting
resources and experiences. I have a track record of delivering and co-ordinating
effectively and within given deadlines a broad range of successful projects,
residencies and exhibitions.
Since December 2018, I have been an activist/artist (artivist) with Extinction Rebellion,
filming and documenting protests and actions in London and Cambridge that highlight
and demand action from the government about the Climate Emergency.
