To view my social media and current projects, please click here. I work as a textile artist and freelance community projects producer. I am passionate about creating work and projects that reflect, ‘the everyday’, our communities and our lives. I believe that community projects should absolutely be integrated into the communities and people that they represent to act as a shared voice. I love using textiles to communicate people’s stories and heritage. I have experience using digital platforms to explore creativity in general within localised contexts, and to celebrate and map the often missed creative assets that exist within place. This approach to research and project creation allows for more informed infrastructures to be in place, better supporting localised creativity and practice. Living in Huddersfield, I have a studio in the beautiful Byram Arcade in the town centre and run workshops and projects from the space as well as selling the art that I make. I also offer consultancy and project development/support around creative projects focused on community creativity.
