Woven Stories celebrates 10 years of art and culture at Sunny Bank Mills with an exhibition that maps that anniversary with a selection of artists and makers who have contributed to our story and in doing so shared their own.

Biography
I work primarily in painting. I create in an expressive and instinctual way, combining objects, people and scenarios, both real and imagined. For subject matter I follow my wide ranging interests including pop culture, folk horror, nature, science fiction, family, and everyday objects.
My practice also involves curating, illustration and experimental film photography.
I studied BA (Hons) Graphic Arts and Design at Leeds Metropolitan (Beckett) University and MA Curation Practices at Leeds Arts University, and have a Foundation Degree from Cleveland College of Art.
I am the curator of Compact Contemporary gallery, a miniature art gallery which can be viewed on Instagram @compactcontemporary
