About me
I’m a gardener and a contemporary art curator.
Whether working with plants or artists, I seek to deepen relationships with land as public space. Like nature, art in the everyday interrupts our daily rhythms, providing room for transformation. I think in seasonal cycles and arrows of deep time, catapulting between the two. To me, places are layers of time, geological and cultural so I garden and curate to creatively evoke the stories within these layers.
As a gardener, I’ve trained at Kensington Palace and undertaken short-term placements at Great Dixter and Lawson Park. I’m the recipient of two prestigious bursaries from the Professional Gardeners’ Trust and the Hardy Plant Society. I’m currently studying for an RHS Level 2 Horticultural Theory certificate. Previously I worked under Head Gardener Paul Walsh maintaining four award-winning biodiverse garden squares in Notting Hill. I discovered my love for horticulture in semi-tropical Auckland, New Zealand, where I helped maintain a 16-acre estate filled with natives, tropical shrubs and European annuals.
As a curator, I’ve collaborated with Turner-prize winning artists and leading institutions, like Victoria & Albert Museum and Folkestone Triennial. I am a seasoned lecturer, podcaster, workshop facilitator and panel host. Previous clients include ILAM College of Art (Christchurch, NZ) and NADA Art Fair (New York, USA). I was a founding member of a socially-engaged curatorial collective. I gained a Distinction in MA Curating and Collections at University Arts London in 2021. I held roles across the art world, from public organisations to private collections. I received my MA(hons) in History of Art from the University of Edinburgh in 2016.
