Director of Cartwheel since the summer of 2004, prior to which I was one of the Projects Co-ordinators. I still get involved in projects as much as I can, and the variety of work we are doing now is brilliant. I’ve worked in the participatory arts for, well, quite a long time now. My background originally was in community print and design as well as commercial printing for the music business, the labour movement and theatres. I spent 10 years with Greenwich Mural Workshop in Woolwich running the screenprinting and repro department. I worked as a freelance artist for some years before joining Cartwheel, so I appreciate the pressures on freelancers and some of the issues that arise. |

I’ve been Project Co-ordinator for Tell us Another One since January 2006. Previously I’ve worked on a number of cultural diversity projects in the Manchester area; making the arts accessible to all and using it to build understanding and respect between different cultures continues to inspire and drive me. I’m also an avid bookworm, and lover of the spoken word and have recently worked in various roles running literature projects. Tell Us Another One is proving a wonderful initiative to work on as it brings these two key interests of mine together. |

Working as a freelance visual artist led me to Cartwheel in1999, where I discovered the joy of working with a wide range of community groups. I have been in post as Projects Coordinator since August 2004. Not even the rising floodwaters, which led Cartwheel to sail it’s company ark to its new home in April 2005, could dampen my enthusiasm and belief in what the arts and companies like Cartwheel can achieve. I look forward to developing new and exciting projects, and who knows, we might even get to trade the company ark in for a van! |
