Hi! 👋🏽
I’m Daniel.

I’m a visual artist & creative health consultant based in London, UK.

For over 20 years I’ve specialised in the exploration of complex emotional experiences through the arts. My work explores themes of disability, heritage, belonging & what it means to be human.

I’m a multipotentialite. I make deeply personal artworks, devise & facilitate socially engaged creative projects and provide consultancy & more across the creative health sector.

I’m the also the founder & Director of Arts & Health Hub, a non-profit organisation supporting artists that are exploring health & wellbeing in their creative practice.

Want to work together? I’m open for work.

What’s the latest?

Here’s some events you can book on to:

One of the clearest memories I have of speaking to a counsellor, aged 18, is describing to her how I experience my thoughts. It’s as if there is a projector playing a film of my thoughts that I am watching in my mind. Yet there’s the pr

The archive that I am grappling with is one that hardly exists. It isn’t just the objects that are missing, it’s the stories too. In some ways I miss those more - longing for something to hold in my heart more than what I can hold in my h

What people say about
working with me…

“Daniel has delivered artist-led workshops at QUEERCIRCLE & is a valued member of our Queering Creative Health network. His expertise in thinking through practices of care - in life as in work - has helped us to reflect more deeply as an organisation on how we might work differently within our team, our public and artists more broadly. We prize Daniel as a critical friend who brings a lot of humour, wisdom and insight to our process.”
— Frances Williams, Health & Research lead at QUEERCIRCLE
“Daniel and I have worked together in a few ways at Bethlem Gallery. Daniel is open, organised, thoughtful and a joy to work with. He brings gentle challenge as part of his practice as an artist and facilitator, and has a knack for setting up spaces in a way that puts people at ease.”
— Sophie Leighton, Director at Bethlem Gallery
“I commissioned Daniel to deliver a session on Participant and Self Care in Creative Health for a group of creative practitioners in Medway. Daniel was a joy to work with from start to finish. He’s super organised and efficient in his preparation. He communicates throughout the process and genuinely cares that he delivers what you need. The session was so interesting and valuable to the practitioners, especially hearing about Daniel’s lived experience as an artist and facilitator, and how important boundaries are for himself and for the people he works with. They were all buzzing afterwards!”
— Laura Bailey, Freelance at Medway Council
