After moving from Cardiff to Falmouth to study for an MA in 20th Century Art and Design in 1997 I quickly became smitten with Cornwall and with an art scene that felt vital and alive. Since then I have been lucky enough to work as a Curator of Fine Art in Cornwall for many years. My love of the Cornish art scene has never diminished because it always has the capacity to surprise and excite.

In my current role, I look after the extraordinary collections of Penlee House Gallery & Museum as well as staging temporary exhibitions of work from this collection alongside nationally and internationally important loans.
