Proud to be part of this amazing research group using creative methodologies to address the ‘silent crisis’ in stem cell donation. To read more about this project please check out this article by Karen Moss.
The research team includes Dr Jill Shepherd, Professor Joy Zhang, Dr Rebecca Cassidy and myself. We have been lucky enough so far to work with fantastic community partners including Health Action Charity Organisation and New Life Pentecostal Church.

I am over the moon to share that I have been awarded a Vice Chancellor’s Studentship to undertake my PhD at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) in the UK.
The project is part of Fast Forward: Women in Photography and I am extremely grateful to be working with Professor Anna Fox and Professor Jean Wainwright.
Huge thanks to everyone who talked with me about my application or acted as a referee and recommended reading. Also sincere thanks to the Fast Forward team and the UCA Doctoral College for welcoming me into the program so warmly.
I am honoured to have been invited to become an ‘Affiliated Researcher’ at the Centre for Global Science and Epistemic Justice (GSEJ) @university_of_kent
This has grown out of a project I have been contributing to (which is associated with GSEJ) that focuses on stem cell donation and research using creative methodologies. I have been working with an amazing team of researchers, namely Dr. Jill Shepherd, Prof. Joy Zhang and Dr. Rebecca Cassidy.
It is a great team, an amazing centre and I am grateful to be a part of both.
Happy to be meandering along to Folkestone this weekend to share a Drawing Masterclass about the imagined and the observed. Thanks to the Folkestone Art Society for the invite!
Its back to school time and I have two new courses kicking off at the @theHorsebridgeArtCentre in Whitstable from 8 September. The first is Introduction to Drawing the Figure in which we will learn how to work with the human figure as a subject.

If you know anyone who might be interested please let them know :)

I am working with the Horsebridge Art Centre to create a large participatory public artwork in response to the question ‘What does the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee mean to you?’ We are asking for people to submit responses as sculptural forms, specifically fake flowers or floral inspired sculptures that we will combine into massive bouquets that will be displayed on the outside of the Art Centre across the Jubilee weekend 2nd to the 6th of June 2022.
Nillumbik Arts & Cultural Development invites you to the opening of Local I Remix and exhibition of the Shire Collection considering the role of place and perceptions on local identity. I am pleased to have work in this exhibition as part of the collections investigation into this beautiful area.
I am excited to announce that I will be working with The Horsebridge Arts Centre and the Whitstable Improvement Trust to develop and deliver a new public art project. ‘Go Slow’ is being specially designed to encourage cars to slow down on Sea Street (opposite the Horsebridge) by creating a new site specific artwork that will also enhance the local area. The work will be developed via series of workshops with local children aged 5 to 11 years. Stay tuned for updates as the project develops!
It was great to make some ‘framed’ artworks with the Young Makers Club at the Horsebridge Arts Centre in Whitstable, England this week.
We all chose a few of our favourite things to draw, then constructed our 3D The Printed Stage paper craft frames. Everyone took home their new ‘framed artworks’ to put on their mantelpieces at home!
This Printable Frame Activity Sheet is available on The Printed Stage Etsy store. And please visit the Horsebridge Arts Centre website for more information about the Young Makers Club and other fun things happening in Whitstable.

I am delighted to be in a group show called Fish ‘n’ fusion at Fishslab Gallery in the English seaside town of Whitstable. This is a longstanding annual exhibition of local artists and it is an absolute privilege to be invited to participate. The exhibition is open between 10am to 5pm between 30 June and 5 July.
Camille Serisier has created The Printed Stage based on years of experience as a scenic painter, visual artist and educator running educational workshops and designing scenery for stage productions and major events. After sharing thousands of printable resources with museums, schools and families, during lockdown Camille decided to make her designs more broadly accessible. Her hand drawn scenery, props and costume designs are now available as digital files, which can be downloaded and printed at home or on larger format machines at your local copy centre. Camille selected downloadable digital files as her medium for The Printed Stage because they provide an affordable way for people to engage with her designs from anywhere in the world.
I was really pleased to be included in this online exhibition hosted by R IS N PROJECTS and curated by Roisin Delaney. Taking place on the first anniversary of the first English lockdown, the works in this show explore the concept of ‘stay at home’. The show was on view for two weeks from 23 March until 7 April 2021. To view works from the show please visit the R IS N PROJECTS Instagram page.
Inspired by Mail Art and the restrictions many of us have experienced due to covid-19, ‘Restrictions’ is a project led by Amanda Lynch in partnership with Clayhill Arts and funded by Arts Council England. My work will be shown alongside others from around the UK displayed onsite in old letter press drawers as well as online via video and livestream.
The exhibition will take place on the anniversary of the first lockdown, 23rd March, 2021 and run until 6th April.
