A dedicated, proactive, and highly motivated individual with a strong passion for working in studio environments and creative, site-specific spaces. Thrive in collaborative artistic settings where I can contribute both practical skills and creative problem-solving, while continuing to develop my own practice and learn from experienced artists and technicians. Personal artistic practice centres on life modelling, observational drawing, and sculpture.
Through these disciplines, have developed a strong understanding of form, proportion, materials, and artistic processes, alongside patience, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Much of professional experience has been in arts facilitation, working with young people and arts charities to plan and deliver engaging creative workshops, support community arts projects, and assist in leading events. Currently seeking a graduate or trainee position as an Art Technician or Artist Assistant where I can apply practical skills, enthusiasm, and strong work ethic within a professional creative environment.
