SEPTEMBER 2019

I am about to start a year-long course with Jenny Dean at Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft learning and exploring natural dyes. I'm still carrying out research into producing plant-based pigments and this course seemed like a natural addition to the work I have been doing. I feel really privileged to have been selected for the course and am excited to get started!

 

 

APRIL 2019

I have been selected for a printmaking residency with Lime at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, working directly with nursing staff to explore emotional labour, trauma and wellbeing. I will be spending time working with staff on lots of different wards alongside producing a final piece of work in response to my time there.

 

 

MARCH 2019

I am pleased to announce I have been successful in applying for Arts Council England 'Developing Your Creative Practice' funding. I plan to spend a year developing printmaking inks made from plant-based pigments and colour.

 

 

JULY 2018

I am delighted to have been selected for a residency at Kingsbrae Botanical Gardens in New Brunswick, Canada. I will be spending a month developing my leaf print series, working on larger scale monoprints and developing technique.
