I am a cross-media artist based at Flub Studios  (DE56 1NU) in Belper, Derbyshire.  I specialise in painting, drawing, live art performance, walkshops and intervention.


​My practice is informed by my interest in psychogeography, ritual and all things folkloric.   
                                                                 
I undertake private commissions, I exhibit,  teach, mentor and  perform... as a live artist, a spoken word artist and as a musician. I facilitate workshops in visual art, carnival arts,  various psychogeographic activities (documented derives, portraits of contexts, environmental poetry...) and music...from folk to samba.

 
Since graduating from art school I have worked as a gardener, an archaeological illustrator, a gallery education officer, an actor, a carnival artist, a corporate trainer, a musician, a secular chaplain, a celebrant and a lecturer. I have taught at universities, colleges, prisons, hospitals, schools, and art galleries across the UK and beyond (I continue to teach drawing at Nottingham Trent University and I am an  Associate Artist at Nottingham Contemporary). Throughout this time I have maintained a fine art practice: making work in the studio, exhibiting and performing in galleries. The work I undertake within socially engaged, educational, public, folkloric, gallery and studio contexts is all part of one practice. I resist the imposition of barriers that divide artists and  resist systems of classification where ever I can. 

FEES

  • public performances
