Last summer I organized a week’s residency for ten Wimbledon MFA students at the Rodd Farm on the Powys/ Herefordshire borders. I had been awarded a residency by The Sidney Nolan Trust as a prize for my BA show and had also attended workshops, lectures and exhibitions over a number of years and knew the staff there well. The residency was extremely successful, culminating in a well attended open half-day. I decided to run it again this year for both years of MFA students.

I would like to continue this as a rolling programme and maintain links with the Trust. and Wimbledon MFA.

In my previous career I have been a Facilitator and Mentor and I enjoy supporting others. I would be interested in negotiating funding for further opportunities for residencies or studio and exhibition space in the West Midlands where I live.
