Welcome

My art begins in the body.

I make it at the water's edge - wading into salt marsh, estuary, mudflat, where land and water blur into one wet, slow, living thing. Feet first, letting silt and tide move through me until I am landscape too.

In Iceland, moss takes fifty years to cross the lava. One footstep on it takes decades to heal. You learn to walk around what you love. I met seaweed in its rock home, drew a spiral with all the strength a crip body has. Rested in the dunes and watched the thongweed gather with the tide. There was so much of it that I wrapped bark in its long wet strands and played.

Home, the land keeps finding me. My daughter leaves bark on windowsills, by the soap, in pockets - small offerings from the ground. Later, during a meeting, a collaborator talks of pushing our faces into brambles. Snogging blackberries.

Everything here is entangled.
Body in land, land in water.
Roots in roots, weed in weed.

What are you entangled with at the moment?

 Hello! Welcome to my artist, mentor and arts psychotherapy practitioner page.

I am both an artist and an art psychotherapist. I offer Neurodiversity training in the arts and my disability training videos have been used by various art organisations such as Oily Cart, Sound and Music, and Daryl and Co, who are dedicated to removing down access barriers in the theatre, music and the arts.

As an arts psychotherapist, I work with mainly neurodivergent clients or clients whose children are being diagnosed autistic/ADHD and they might want to explore their own neurodivergence.

I also work as a mentor with many neurodivergent artists and am the founder of Magical Women, a project for autistic/ADHD women and non binary artists. I am also working towards autistic led art therapy group sessions to meet the needs of so many neurodivergent people who are low income.

As an artist, my practice is moved by feelings of “otherness” offered through the prism of ritual and magic. Using repetitive/rhythmic gestures, my autistic/ADHD/synaesthesia lens explores texture, voice, recorded media & live performance.

I layer sound, sculpting it around repeated images from nature. My work has a phantasmagorical feel, overwhelming and immersive, secretive, yet particularly revealing to diverse audiences. It has been compared to a Leonora Carrington psychological landscape: At one level displaying a consciousness echoing an ancient sensibility. At another level expressing something intensely contemporary.

My work has been supported and presented by: The Supporting Act Foundation, Arts Council England, Canal and River Trust, The Free Space Project/Creative Health Camden, Cole's Gallery Leeds, Drake Music Scotland, Unlimited, LADA, Shape, Tate Modern, Guerrilla Zoo, Hammersmith Lyric Theatre, Camden People’s Theatre, Drake Music, Disability Arts Online, and European Investment Bank, Luxembourg.

My work can be purchased from Cole’s Gallery, Leeds.

Artist, Art Psychotherapist, Mentor, Visual Arts Practice based PhD Researcher

I am a professional artist and work with video, sound, text and paint. My artist CV will be updated very soon.
As an art psychotherapist I work with neurodivergent clients or clients who think they might be neurodivergent and would like to explore that during our sessions. Not all my clients will use art materials and might prefer verbal therapy to begin with. Sessions are person-centred.
As an arts mentor, access consultant and specialist mentor, I work with neurodivergent clients in the arts industries or with arts organisations, institutions and theatres who would like to be more neurodivergent-inclusive.
I am undergoing a research project on a full scholarship at NTU Artistic Research Centre. My Director of Studies is Duncan Higgins.
