I am a multidisciplinary artist whose work is concerned with themes of care, connection, and visibility. I am passionate about how we use art as a tool to connect with one another and build community. I have worked as a curator and facilitator across the UK and Ireland within organisations such as The Everyman Theatre (YEP), 126 Gallery, Galway Arts Centre and Cúirt International Festival of Literature.
In 2023, I graduated with a First-Class Honours Degree in Photography from Arts University Bournemouth. My research was focused on developing inclusion and access within visual culture through performance and participatory practices. Previously my photographic work has been featured in Open Eye Gallery, The Photographer’s Gallery (Develop) and Source Magazine.
I am the editor of (un)titled, a publication for emerging artists. Through this platform, I have collaborated with Culture Night to produce in person events such as live music gigs, open mic nights and film screenings, offering paid opportunities to musicians and artists in the local community. I am passionate about facilitating platforms for inclusive storytelling.
I also work as a freelance illustrator - I love bringing stories and characters to life. Previous illustration features include Rookie Magazine, Bright Lite Magazine, Hype Collective, Neighbourhood Watch.
I love connecting with others, open to collaboration and commissions.
