I am an access-first arts producer, curator and project manager, passionate about telling stories about what it means to be human.
Since 2003 I have produced and delivered interdisciplinary exhibitions and public engagement projects bringing together art, the humanities and science. My clients include museums, galleries, scientific organisations, and higher education institutions. My work embraces researching, curating, producing and delivering exhibitions, displays, public events and written content to engage audiences with themes that resonate with our experience of the world. In recent years my work has expanded to focus on accessible exhibition making, including overseeing the production of audio described tours, BSL tours, Visual Stories and Easy Read resources.
I relish collaborative projects, forging and nurturing partnerships, & I am skilled at managing relationships across many departments & with a variety of stakeholders. My transdisciplinary practice means that I bring an open, curious mind to my work and a flair for working with people from a variety of perspectives.
In recent years I have worked directly with artists in producing and curatorial roles, as well as providing access support for neurodivergent artists. I also work with institutions to help identify artists for potential exhibition & commissions.
My commitment to social, racial and environmental justice and equity are core values informing both my professional and personal life. I bring an anti-racist & anti-ableist lens to my practice, and continuously hold myself accountable for these approaches. I am committed to an access-first approach, which means embedding access and inclusive practice from the outset of projects, rather than as an ‘add-on’ later in the process. I am currently part-time co-project manager of the Accentuate programme delivered by Screen South, which challenges perceptions of disability by providing life-changing opportunities for Deaf and disabled people to participate and lead within the cultural sector .
