My artistic practice focuses on photography and new media.

I completed my BA (Hons) Fine Art degree at Sheffield Hallam University in 2001, PGCE Secondary/Post 16 Art and Design at Liverpool John Moores University in 2003 and more recent MA Contemporary Fine Art (Curation) at Sheffield Hallam University in 2009.

I am actively seeking further opportunities for my own arts practice and as a curator for future exhibitions.

I worked as a Secondary Art and Design teacher / Lecturer in Art and Design for several years and always cultivated ideas with the students I taught. My interest in photography and new media continues to grow and I feel that the MA has helped me in revisiting and rediscovering my own creative practice. I love to meet new people and see this as the basis for all my work, whether this be as a performative piece such as my video work or as a way of initiating a conversation between strangers. I believe that the photographer and the sitter have to feel at ease with one another in order for there to be a visual response. I have developed this understanding through club photography and working with many bands.

I have been commissioned by Liverpool Biennial to work on projects with students and community groups. These projects have been 'Lighten Up, STAR*, Gossip and At A Glance’.

Permanent paintings are held at Holly Lodge Girls College and West Derby School, Liverpool and photographs purchased by Liverpool Housing Action Trust and photography at The Cotgrave Candleby Lane School, Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire.
