VISUAL ART, WEB DESIGN
& CREATIVE RESIDENCIES
VISUAL ARTIST
A constant inspiration for my work is the home and the relationship people have with their own. I make art by exploring seemingly trivial objects, and remake these by playfully transforming them.
‘It succeeds both as art and as a form of social cohesion.’ – Giles Sutherland

WEB DESIGNER
I am a web designer who creates self-manageable websites for sole traders and small businesses, specialising in working with artists, writers and arts organisations.
‘It’s like I handed you a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle of a black puddle and you waved your magic wand…’– Lorna Fraser

CREATIVE RESIDENCIES
I have worked with many arts organisations and galleries (SSA, VAS, RSA, Aberdeen Art Gallery,…) and have undertaken four artist residencies. With this experience in hand, I offer artist and writer residencies at Studio Faire in SW France.
‘My stay at Studio Faire was one of the best experiences of my life.’– Johanna Pfau
