Brief biography

Between 2001 to July 2004, I worked for Crescent Arts, (Scarborough’s longest running contemporary, artists run gallery), WEA, Yorkshire Coast College, Eventus, the University of Hull, York St. John and many other organisations and agencies. I have planned and delivered sessions with people of all ages, including arts workshops in schools and long term projects designed to creatively engage local community members in the regeneration of their local areas. I have also taught more formal classes and courses such as life drawing, art history and fine art to under graduate art students, A level students and adults returning to learning.

I was the Arts Centre Manager at St James Community Arts Centre, Scarborough where I initiated a gallery space as well as many community arts based workshops. Currently I am working from home and am tutoring, part time at Yorkshire Coast College due to the arrival of my daughter, Hannah, in October ‘05
