RESIDENCIES & ARTS PROJECTS

I believe passionately in "Art for All" whereby everyone of all ages and abilities can be involved with creative projects and can have the opportunity of seeing their art put on display in public place. I have undertaken design and management work as well as the "tutor" role for a variety of projects for schools and adults both in the UK and overseas; just a small selection of past projects are listed below - please visit Latest News for information on latest projects or email me for more information:
