VISUAL ART, WEB DESIGN
& CREATIVE RESIDENCIES
VISUAL ARTIST

‘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

‘My stay at Studio Faire was one of the best experiences of my life.’– Johanna Pfau
