ABOUT
I am a photographer and educator currently living and working in North England. My practice uses methods of documentary, portraiture and performance through still and moving image. I am the winner of Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival Prize 2022 and was shortlisted for BJP Portrait of Britain 2023. My work has been exhibited at Diffusion: Cardiff International Festival of Photography and at the Open Eye Gallery as part of the Collective Matters exhibition. I have held a number of residencies, including at Outlandia in Scotland. I have extensive experience in community engagement and arts education. I was Arts Outreach Coordinator at Locws International and currently work at the University of Salford.
