ARTIST
My specialism is creating engaging visual narratives that make academic research, testimonies or complex histories more accessible to a wider audience. I work on history and heritage projects, usually collaboratively with other creatives and researchers. I also work to commission in illustration for private clients and tourism venues.

My research considers commemoration, particularly that of my ancestor Duncan Edwards.
He was a Busby Babe, Manchester United and England footballer who died after being injured in the 1958 Munich Air Disaster. I present my research at international conferences and to community and business groups.
