About Me

I am a live art mongrel, initially trained in dance and drama with a degree focused on interdisciplinary performance. My work explores conceptual issues, often addressed through live art, sculpture and immersive installation. I am undertaking an MA Fine Art at The University of The West of England, Bristol.

I have a good relationship with Bristol's Live Art scene and the Arnolfini Live Programme. I showed new work "Define Me" at Arnolfini in January and will soon be a 'We Live Here' associate artist. I have worked as a guest performer with the Pacitti Company (London) and with Guillermo Gomez Pena and La Pocha Nostra (Residency and Performance). I was artist in residence at Tactile Bosch with Paul Hurley in the summer of 2006.
