My creative process is participatory, collaborative, and follows inclusive practice with a focus on disability, neurodiversity or history. Inclusive practice is a collaborative method that supports a mutually beneficial two-way creative process. My practice is also multidisciplinary, with materials and approach informed by the theme of the project usually through museum and archive research. I have an interest in using digital technology creatively and finding new tools to create art. I am neurodivergent and due to my dexterity are always looking for new innovative ways to create art that is accessible to myself and others.
I’ve completed my MA Inclusive Arts Practice at the University of Brighton and previously completed a BA (Hons) in Photography. I enjoy darkroom printing and have been doing so since I was four years old in my grandfather’s loft.
In my professional background I have worked with various youth work charities, museum young people’s programmes and within museum and arts disability access. In June 2013 I founded a charity for young dyspraxic adults called ‘Dyspraxic Me’. We meet once a month and take part in lots of different activities from sports, cooking, to art. We also organise an annual event for Dyspraxia Awareness Week in October. Through this I was awarded a place on the Shaw Trust ‘Power 100’ 2018 list of the most influential and inspirational disabled people in Britain and the University of Brighton Alumna Award 2022.
