I'm a graphic novelist, print maker, textile artist, small press publisher, teacher, event organiser and researcher. I graduated from the RCA in 2003. I make experimental graphic novels and handmade comics utilizing unusual materials such as embroidery, pressed flowers and fire. In 2012 I won the First Graphic Novel Prize. My graphic novel's The Black Project and A Thousand Coloured Castles are published by Myriad Editions, The Dancing Plague is published by SelfMadeHero. My teaching experience includes being a tutor in Foundation Studies at City & Guilds of London Art School for six years, and a visiting lecturer in Illustration at the University of Lincoln. I organised the South London Comics and Zine Fair in 2017-18. I am currently a AHRC Techne funded PhD candidate at UAL researching materiality and metaphor in comics.
