takes the Visual Arts and Community lead and specialises in designing and delivering events and creative workshops in heritage and community settings, often with diverse, marginalised, and underrepresented groups. She has recently worked with the University of Exeter and Exeter City Council (Proud to Be film project), St Nicholas Priory, Exeter (artist in residence; creative programmes), Headway Devon (art workshop series) Exeter UNESCO City of Literature, and the Devon and Exeter Institution (collection reviewer).
