I am a visual artist based in Edinburgh, Scotland, specializing in textile and mixed media artworks and art education. I make sculptures, prints and drawings inspired by people’s relationship to houses and I’m a tutor on an interior design project for people who’ve been homeless. My work is always well crafted and accessible, I’ve been told it’s clever and witty by both art lovers and haters!
My most recent exhibition was in The Park Gallery, Falkirk, in ‘How Do I Look In This?’ and in Visual Arts Scotland, as a newly appointed professional member, where my sculpture ‘Highly Sprung’ was awarded the prestigious Russell Trust Prize.I was recently voted as one of ‘The brightest and best Future 500 rising stars’(that's top 50 in the art & design category) in the Observer by Courvoisier (25/11/07)…woohoo!
I tutor on the Fab Pad programme, a housing project which works with vulnerable young people when they start a new tenancy, helping them develop ideas and learn the skills to turn this new house into their home.
