Following the birth of our daughter I moved to North Norfolk with my husband where we have lived ever since.
Shortly after moving here in 2009, I became manager of Holt Festival and continued in this role until 2014. In the past few years I have been working with the festival again as a designer, part of the creative team and sit on the Board of Directors.
Although I’ve worked as a freelance video maker, photographer and designer since graduating, after leaving the festival in 2014 I returned to silversmithing, something I’ve done on and off all my life. I was awarded a City & Guilds III in silversmithing in 2016.
Although photography is currently my main creative outlet I continue to silversmith and create enamelled fine silver and copper bowls whenever I can.
I graduated from Norwich School of Art in 2001 with a BA (Hons) First Class in Visual Studies. Three years later I went on to complete a Masters in Fine Art.
After graduating I started collaborating with the musican Wreckless Eric who had created the sound track for my degree show video installation Mind Your Head. We worked on many projects including our prize winning Snap Me Photo Booth, numerous short films and I created and performed live video projections for his Visualy Enhanced Tour in 2003. The tour included a performance at Tate Britain as part of the Tate Later events programme along with Andre Barreau from The Bootleg Beatles on bass guitar.
In 2004 I was asked to create animations for projection for the Bootleg Beatles and continued doing this until Andre Barreau’s retirement as George Harrison in 2015.
In 2004 I created projections for the late Stephen Russell’s (aka Barefoot Doctor) Geisha Nights at the Nottinghill Arts Club, Barefoot in the Park in Liverpool and made many short films with him.
In 2011, in collaboration with Andre Barreau, I created the projections for poet Martin Figura’s award winning show Whistle. Andre and I continued collaborating to create the projections for Martin’s subsequent show Dr Zeeman’s Catasrophe Machine in 2016.
