I'm a practitioner working across visual arts, performance and writing, and I live & work in Cornwall, in the SW UK.
I believe art is vitally important to human beings. It fosters wonder, and connection: with each other, and with our wider world.

I'm thinking a great deal at present about where art, creativity and female leadership intersect; and about how artists, particularly women artists, can help shape and illuminate the world differently.
