My photographic practise focuses on social engagement and I have a particular interest in local community. I used to be Probation Officer and that has strongly influenced the way in which I work today. I strive for social connection in my work and I’ve a strong desire to share the stories of these interactions to a wider audience.

Community and the spaces that bring people together are often at the heart of the work that I make. I believe that feeling a part of something can make a life-changing difference to people in developing an awareness of identity and belonging. This helps to build esteem and a sense of self.   

Open Eye Gallery and Culture Liverpool have recently commissioned me to work in the County Road District area of Liverpool City Region.

This residency is connected to a wider programme of cultural interventions in the County Road Area, which is part of Culture Liverpool’s Next Generation Neighbourhood Projects.
