From the day we’re born we all have an instinct for creativity.  Just put a blank piece of paper in front of any toddler with some coloured pens to realise this. Somewhere along the way we get ‘educated’ and most lose the belief and importance of creative expression and play.

I founded the The Art Station to host public open art pop up stations in communal spaces where members of the public can contribute to a finished piece of work offering a platform to encourage artistic expression in the community.

Alongside The Art Station I work with many different groups and organisations as a facilitator, practicing artist, commissioned graphic designer, filmmaker, photographer and musician.

I have been commissioned by numerous art organisations including ​Inspire: Culture, Learning & Libraries, Ashfield Creates, Cambridge Community Arts, Market Place Arts, St Peters Lodge, Eastlands Mental Health Rehab to name a few.

I lead fun and relaxed art sessions with a focus on improving wellbeing for individuals and making art accessible for everyone, regardless of experience and ability.

My passion lies in engaging with people, encouraging their creative journeys, and witnessing their excitement for art. My ultimate mission is to empower individuals to recognise their own ​unique creativity, enabling them to confidently embrace their inner artist.
