I am an arts writer and commentator, focusing on contemporary sector issues, visual arts; architecture/built environment; cultural learning/arts CPD; HEI creative endeavour; and collaborative and networked practice. I have a reputation for well-written, well-informed and opinionated commentary on contemporaneous sector issues. I write in the national press and for arts sector media, as well as copywriting, evaluation and report writing for the arts and creative and cultural industries.
