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.
