My professional ventures explore the combined benefits of creativity, arts and psychology on individual, community and arts industry wellbeing. Delivered via lectures, workshops, consulting, research, articles, strategic partnerships, a book, and creative projects.

After ten years as a lecturer and eight years as a student, across Sydney, Katoomba, and Melbourne. I’ve also stepped out of the city and returned to my home region in rural NSW. Where I straddle my practice across teaching at UNSW Arts, Design, and Architecture and a small Community, Arts, and Cultural Development practice in Harden-Murrumburrah.
