I am currently one of DASH's mentee artists. In 2021 I was comissioned by DASH to create a portfolio of images documentig the DASH/TATE project, WAIWAV . You can see an interview with myself and DASH Director Mike Laywood, here. (DASH creates opportunities for disabled artists to develop their creative practice.)
I work for several charities, using my photography to promote their work and raise awareness and funds.
I volunteer at Ffotogallery Wales, The Royal Photographic Society and Aber Valley Heritage Museum documenting their annual remembrance services for the mining disasters of 1913 and 1947.
