About me
I am a visual artist and photographer with experience designing and curating exhibitions, books, with interest in fine art photography, portraiture and new forms of documentary photography. I have worked collaboratively both on personal and external projects throughout my academic career, from studio portraiture for clients to organising, designing and curating exhibitions. I have recently received a First Class with Honours from Falmouth University for a Bachelors Degree in Photography. My graduating body of work ‘Magic Isle’ has been shortlisted and featured by Source Magazine after being selected by both Creative and Curator Sebah Chaudhry, as well as Art Historian, Write and Curator Taous Damahni.
