I am an experienced arts leader and curator with a proven track record across museums and galleries, education and the wider cultural sector. With over 25 years’ experience and an extensive national and international network, I bring expertise in strategic leadership, curatorial practice, public engagement and inclusive programming. I am passionate about supporting artists and widening participation, with an empathic approach rooted in collaboration, curiosity and care.

Currently Director of West Yorkshire Print Workshop, I lead the development of this artist-led organisation, championing printmaking and its vital role within contemporary visual arts. Previously, as Senior Curator of the Arts Council Collection (2003–2021), I led the UK’s largest loan collection of British sculpture, overseeing facilities, operations and teams, national touring exhibitions, and impactful interpretation and learning programmes.

An experienced writer with an extensive portfolio of published work, my PhD research focused on precariousness in sculpture by women, 1979–1993. I develop projects that foreground underrepresented artists and narratives, and regularly deliver lectures and chair conversations at galleries, museums and universities across the UK.

I studied History of Art at King’s College, Cambridge, graduating with a First Class degree, and completed my PhD in Art History at the University of Birmingham in 2025, funded by Midlands4Cities.
