I am a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and researcher based in the North West of England, working across sound, publishing, and interdisciplinary fine art practice. My work explores listening, place, and memory through sound installations, publications, and public engagements. In higher education, I have led programmes, developed curricula, and mentored students across Fine Art, Film, and Creative Media. I also run Lonely Stone Press, an independent publishing platform focused on land, sound, image, and contemporary art, and deliver public talks and exhibitions internationally.
