I hold a BA (Hons) in Film and Television Studies with Performance Studies from Aberystwyth University, a PGDip in Fine Art from Byam Shaw, Central St Martins, London, and an MA in Art Psychotherapy from Roehampton University. I am currently a PhD candidate at Nottingham Trent University, researching autistic stimming as an artistic methodology. My professional development includes ILM Management and Marketing certifications, IT skills training, and short courses in Experimental Filmmaking and Screenwriting at City Lit. I have extensive experience in Disability and Wellbeing roles in higher and further education, including positions as a Disability and Wellbeing Manager, Specialist Mentor, and Study Skills Tutor. Additionally, I have received training in Adlerian Psychotherapy, Jungian Archetypes, and The Thinking Environment, along with various Autism training courses since 2002. I have also completed six modules in the National Autism Society’s NMH Bundle focusing on key areas of autism support.

I am an award-winning trans-disciplinary performance maker and artist. My practice is moved by feelings of “otherness” offered through the prism of ritual and magic. Using repetitive and rhythmic gestures (“stimming”), my autistic/ADHD/synaesthesia filter explores texture, voice, recorded media  and live performance. Autism exists in my work intentionally, without being overtly placed at its centre. My work has a phantasmagorical feel, overwhelming and immersive, secretive, yet particularly revealing to diverse audiences.  It has been compared to “a Leonora Carrington psychological landscape - at one level displaying a consciousness echoing an ancient sensibility, at another expressing something intensely contemporary.” - Colin Hambrook, Editor of Disability Arts Online. In 2019, I founded Magical Women, a Neurodivergent-led model where autistic/ADHD women and non-binary artists gather in relaxed and empowering spaces to make art, removing the risk present in neurotypical situations.
