I am a contemporary folk artist pen and ink illustrator from London. As well as good ol' fashioned editorial work I have more recently ventured into the world of mask illustration which I combine with live art installation to provide an interactive live art experience for people coming to my shows. Over the last year I have been working on a project called 'Mask!' based on surreal states, dreamscapes and lucid dreams, which began with a large mural at Forest Hall, Edinburgh and has continued with live art installation and masked workshops. I am currently touring the Mask! show across Europe. My next show dates are: June 12th-13th - Space Made Live, Arthouse, Glasgow June 26th - Urban Arts Festival, Amsterdam August 26th - Artlate, Total Kunst, Edinburgh..

I specialize in working with community groups running art workshops for Under 5’s, 5-11 yr olds, Transition Groups (9-14yrs), Youth Groups (13-19yr olds), Young People, Adults and People with Special Needs and Learning Difficulties. I have also worked for Statutory Bodies such as in Primary Schools, Council run Leisure Services & Universities as well as charitable organisations such as Neighbourhood Partnerships and Festival Organisations. I also have 11 yrs experience of being a playworker. My teaching style is very much orientated to encouraging creativity and collaboration & valuing process as much as outcome. I am able to plan and prepare for the intended art workshops and will, should you require it, give you a comprehensive list of materials and costs per workshop. I am reliable, punctual and highly organised. ..
