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.
RESEARCHER
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.

I exhibit in solo and group exhibitions and lead creative workshops. I also curate and manage the exhibition schedule at the Workers Gallery and tours to homes.
My current or scheduled football art shows, creative workshops or curator activities are featured in this section.
