About

Through art we seek those connections which affirm our experiences of being human and alive. We find the assurances, inspirations and empowerment to become active citizens and receptors for change and progress in the world today.

I am a freelance visual-art practitioner and educator based in the south-west UK. My research field is the compositional applications of chance procedure and indeterminacy in a visual art context.

 I graduated The University of Wales with a Bachelors degree in 2009, and later Aberystwyth University with a Masters Degree in Fine Art in 2011, exploring the improvised nature of abstract painting. In July 2022 I submitted my PhD thesis. Titled Unforeseen Possibilities: The Agency of Indeterminacy, my thesis considers chance procedure and indeterminacy as an alternative to the deliberate agency of the artist.

 I am a passionate advocate of art education and a firm believer in the importance of art as a vessel for change and education in society. I combine my practice with the education of art, having held a number of teaching positions across a range of higher education contexts, teaching on both undergraduate and lifelong learning programmes. I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA) gaining my accreditation in July 2022.

I have contributed at numerous conferences and exhibitions, and my work has been included in various exhibitions both internationally and in the UK. I have undertaken a number of collaborations, often taking the shape of performances and workshops with a range of practitioners and academics from across the medial divide, examining and generating new insights and understandings of a number of my research interests.
