My practice is centred around developing an understanding of wellbeing through a diverse range of projects and collaborations.
To discover and explore the human experience, sharing findings through a range of aesthetically charged outcomes employing the use of colour, text, form and more recently sound.
Using creativity as a tool to connect the participant, the viewer and the wider audience to hopefully nurture wellbeing via the understanding of our own lives and the points of view of others.
