My practice encompasses installation, object and digital. I have exhibited internationally including venues in the USA, Canada, Poland, France and Spain, and have work held in in private and public collections in North America and the UK. I have extensive experience in arts and health, in education, writing and curating and am currently based between my home in Wiltshire and a second base near Frankfurt, in Germany.
