CURATION

If you would like further information or would like to work with me directly, please do get in touch.
OLD SESSIONS HOUSE
In 2022 I curated Old Sessions House, an 18th Century Court House based in Farringdon, London which was being transformed into a new member's working club. The building features in Charles Dickens's acclaimed novel Oliver Twist.
​
Answering a brief set by the client, the project included over 30 artists and 100 works of art
WEMBLEY PARK ART TRAIL
Unveiled on International Women’s Day, 2023, the public art trail, Equilibrium, explores the ideas of balance, harmony with nature and self-identity, themes which, although varied, are linked at their core.
​
These themes are explored through an international collection of female artists who address each subject in their own unique way, selected and curated by myself. The exhibition ran until June 25th 2023.
Working from Bratislava, Slovakia; I sourced and worked with 12 leading contemporary Slovakian artists based within the city in early 2022 for a private client.
Private Client
I had the privilege of finding and pitching Red Swan: a woman-owned, Baltimore-based mural studio to create an uplifting artwork reflecting the energy and vibrancy of the NoMa community for a US client.
Private Client
In September 2020, I curated the monumental exhibition 'Sculptors’ Works on Paper' in the public areas of Kings Place, London. The exhibition, launching during Covid-19, offered a unique and intimate insight into the creative mind of a range of artists working within the UK.
