I’m a Derbyshire-based illustrator and art tutor with over 30 years’ experience working across schools, museums, hospitals, and community settings.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Textiles and an MA in Illustration from Central St Martins. My socially engaged practice is founded on the belief that art can heal, inspire, and connect. I have led projects with children, older adults, people with disabilities, and communities in crisis, including domestic abuse refuges and homeless hostels.

I work inclusively with participants from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, adapting workshops to ensure accessibility and engagement for all. I also lead CPD sessions, coordinate art residencies, and develop public art projects inspired by local heritage and place.
