About

I initially trained classically as an Actress in London graduating with a B.A. in Acting and I have been working professionally predominantly in Theatre and some film for 25 years. I have a body of work that is difficult to define, rooted in my classical training as an actress and bleeding across many creatives disciplines and practices including direction and scenography.
All of my work is rooted in listening and responding to the human condition.

I am Lead Artist on projects of my own and through my Arts House, Studio Space Art and often in collaborations with other Individuals and Companies. 
Theatre has given me a thorough grounding where i have been able travel all over the world sharing and performing my work and continually learning.
My artistic practice reaches out across into Site | Human Specific | Performance Art | Installation | Direction | Design | Music | Dance.

My attention has been focused for a number of years on researching and designing work for micro audiences and for one person in the UK, Denmark, Hong Kong, New York, New Zealand and Italy. This work has changed my life, my focus and my direction.

Being asked to talk much more these days about how i make my work has been really helpful for me as an Artist and i've realised that being visually and aurally inspired throughout my creative process are vital to making my works.
Music of all styles and genres are huge in my creative process and end works and I am also passionate about Collaboration, Community and Participatory Art.
I enjoy working at the intersections of art-forms with experimentation always at the forefront of my work, collaborations and artistic process encouraging me to continue to grow as an Artist.

I relocated back to my home City of Dundee in late 2016 and since returning home, I am enjoying falling back in love with my City and re-learning all about Dundee as it is now and its urban ecosystems with fresh eyes.

Space is also very important to us. The holding of space, making space, opening up space and the restoration and preservation of spaces and Buildings and what that means for Communities, Cities and their regeneration.
I am constantly distracted by the breathtaking beauty of the River Tay and along with my husband we have lovingly restored our own beautiful small creative space where we can think creatively alone and with others who visit. All a moment away from the River here in Dundee.

Our current local work, Dud Hopes (Kryptonite) and an international collaboration in development (Twin Light Zone) are being funded through the open fund for individuals by Creative Scotland.

Studio Space Art is a beautiful old space we have worked very hard to lovingly restore.
We are independent Artists finding our own ways to operate by setting our own pace and rules in our industries and we offer a space for others to catch their breath here too.
A space where community can be built together sensitively via kindness | creativity | collaboration and open conversation.
