I work across visual arts, writing, producing and performance, and I live & work on the North coast of Cornwall in the SW UK.
I believe art is vitally important to human beings: fostering wonder and connection - with each other, and with our wider world.
As a freelance arts graduate with creative management & cultural leadership training, a diverse background and a polymath's approach to my practice, I'm thinking a great deal at present about the place where arts & creativity, landscape & coast, community and female leadership/experience intersect; and about how artists, particularly women artists, need more traction in helping shape and illuminate the world differently. How women's voices need to be heard, their ideas valued, empowered and manifested.

TIMEPIECE brings place-based historical stories and characters to life via an exciting combination of illuminated arts, new writing, music, live theatre - and Time Travel!
We launched the idea with TIMEPIECE: Tempus Fugitives! in Bodmin in March 2026, supported by Experience Bodmin, FEAST, IntoBodmin & Bodmin Town Council - exploring five fascinating characters and some of the fabulous heritage stories behind Bodmin's curious connections with Time. We’re now planning more Bodmin shows hopefully in September this year, along with considering some of the Arthurian legends and tales for potential sharing with audiences in Tintagel soon.
We'd love to bring this to other places - do get in touch if you're interested in commissioning - could we turn your town into a Time Machine too?!
InTheSaltSpace is an initiative founded and first piloted with key partners in Cornwall - including the North Cornwall National Trust and Bude Climate Partnership - in 2024. It brings together women in coastal & other wild spaces to purposely explore arts and creativity, community empowerment, climate concern, time and change.
It also includes The Tide Library - a real resource comprising over 100 book titles and volumes, covering an array of interconnected topics, each of which also convenes where the wider InTheSaltSpace concept does.
Since its launch, InTheSaltSpace has involved and inspired a host of wonderful participants and collaborated with a range of other partners in the SW, including further work with the National Trust, the Two Bays Trust, the Seedlings Trust, and the Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust in East Devon. We look forward to widening our collaborations in 2026 and beyond. More on the InTheSaltSpace website
