About
An education at art-school was where I first trained as a photographer and in Curatorial and exhibitions practice. I have worked ever since in both these worlds, because creativity is never linear, or one-track.One of my mentors once said to me being a photographer is like "having a front row seat in life" and I took that on board for both practices.
I've since lived in various countries, and gained front-row view into all kinds of worlds, and all kinds of stories.I've held workshops in Colombian jungles, organised programs for festivals, worked with highly revered museum collections and artists for institutional exhibitions and worked with councils internationally renowned architects on curatorial projects.It is through a lense that I learnt to hone skills for connecting with people, places and their stories. It is through a lens that I also tranferred a sharp eye for detail, and exposure to artists and designers work for a passionate curatorial practice.Whether curatorial, or photographic, curating art in public or private space, art strategy, grant writing, writing, or art advisory, this is all about telling a story.See my services list for some ideas on how to collaborate and get in touch. I look forward to collaborating with you.
