Storyweaving

Stories have always been an essential element within my work and I enjoy working as an artist alongside storytellers to help bring their work alive in a different dimension. I make props, headdresses, masks and more for various settings. I have also made videos to go alongside story work, treasure hunt pieces for storytelling festivals and regularly teach visual storytelling components in storytelling courses. In 2023 I completed and MA in Applied Storytelling with Shonaleigh Cumbers.

Please contact me if you have a project that you would be interested in working with me on.
