I initiate, catalyse, design and deliver creative and environmental arts projects, education, events and happenings.

I enable and facilitate the blossoming of ideas.

This embodies all aspects of project development and co-ordination and includes residencies, commissions; advisory, mentoring and research roles, activism and projects in partnership and across disciplines.

My core values include a commitment to sustainability, to holistic working, collaboration, co-operation and action.

Creative skills:
I work with the visual arts and installation, dance/movement and performance, film and text. I have exhibited and performed and undertaken residencies in UK, Europe and Asia.

Inspirations:
The cycles of nature and seasons; environmental and ecological concerns or questions; listening to people, landscape and particular sites (urban or rural); biodiversity and permaculture; perceptions of time

Motivations:
Working with others to reduce the harm we are inflicting on our planet; understanding our place in the ‘family of things’ & bringing to life positive visions now and for the future.
