Art I Made In 2025

Most of my creative time in 2025 was spent facilitating  others to make art to support their wellbeing which I loved doing. It was important to me to also prioritise making my own art too Click here to take a look.

Dying Matters, the Creative version

Bringing my creative practice to a place where my nursing practice thrived is both grounding and exciting. It's so inspiring to witness where the Bradford 2025 City of Culture team are prioritising resources and focus. Yes the City of Culture year and legacy is about some truly amazing large scale arts projects for Bradford but is also about supporting the culture of the reality of day to day grassroots human experience.
