Workshops and More

As well as creating my own art, I enjoy running art workshops and sessions to facilitate others to create. Before becoming Artist in Residence at Downside School, I worked as an artist facilitator, with both children and adults, at Arty Farty Retreat in Southborough, Kent. Covering various media, including watercolour, oil painting, printing, and craft projects, the sessions were tailored to individuals’ needs – focusing on different areas, such as the core skills and techniques, or facilitating expression and relaxation through art. I focused on creating an engaging, stimulating, and welcoming environment for all, and work with individuals with SEND, including classes at a special needs secondary school.

Art History Talks on Artists

I write and present regular talks on artists throughout history, to people in care homes, and to local groups. This facilitates discussion and engagement with stimulating art topics and helps to promote social interaction and wellbeing, as well as understanding of and appreciation for art.

Radio Broadcasting

I was selected to present a show at kmfm for their Christmas Talent Takeover, gaining my first professional experience in commercial radio. The show was on 29th December 2025 from 7-10pm. If you would like to listen to a recording of the show, do get in touch with me.
