About me

I am a climate and community activist, educator and artist with 40 yearsโ€™ experience of making projects that celebrate alternative views of the world, hidden histories and places and people that have been under-valued.

Starting in the world of architecture, I developed independent projects alongside key positions at leading organisations including the Arts Council, RIBA and the Architecture Foundation. I also lecture and teach at a number of architecture schools and advocate for community planning and power.

My own process-driven art practice responds to my love of the sea and wild swimming, nature and the impact of climate crisis. Increasingly it also reflects my experience of the menopause as a time of reorienation, anger, and empowerment.  

Over my career, the gentle anarchism of writer Colin Ward has steered my thinking and practice.
