I’m a visual artist specialising in the exploration of complex and difficult emotional experiences, focusing on the transformational impact of arts on mental health, building on my own lived experiences.

Over the last 20 years my creative works have brokered dialogues around taboo topics such as mental health, grief, self injury, suicide and racism, through the lens of my intersectional identities as a queer and disabled person of Black and white mixed heritage.

As a part of my creative practice I work on commissions, produce and deliver socially engaged projects and provide consultancy. I regularly exhibit and speak at events across fine art, educational and clinical institutions in the UK and worldwide, alongside teaching at both art and medical institutions.

In 2015 I founded the Arts & Health Hub, a not-for-profit London based organisation that supports artists and cultural producers that are exploring health, wellbeing and what it means to be human in their creative practice. Through my work supporting other artists I’m deeply driven by how we support those with lived experience of illness to safely make both personal and participatory works, and I am passionate about ecosystems of care within the creative sector.

From 2016-2021 I worked in primary care as the Artistic Director of Creative Health Camden, a pioneering arts and wellbeing charity embedded into the NHS, leading on the development and programming of a large number of arts and health initiatives available to over 30,000 patients.

I’m represented by Bethlem Gallery in London and live and have a studio in south east London. If you have a project or want to work together some how please get in touch.
