MA Fine Art: Curating 2026
After an Art Foundation, I studied Philosophy at Cambridge, specialising in Philosophy of sex work and pornography. I have a background in art teaching and currently facilitate creative writing workshops for wellbeing. I have always loved repairing and making clothes, I am a drag performer and I run a sustainable fashion business. I'm interested in arts programming - in particular producing community focused events and workshops. Ultimately, I love working with people and helping them learn to speak the language of their creativity while fostering a creative practice that can stay with them for life.
