Alongside my artwork is my passion for disability access.
I am disabled and autistic, and I aim to make the arts and cultural sector a more inclusive and accessible place.
I have navigated the world as a disabled employee, and I have also created new and exciting access programs for visitors to museums, galleries and theatres. I’m also an audio describer, creating verbal content for blind and vision impaired patrons of the arts.
My background in teaching and visual art means that I understand the GLAM sector and its needs, especially with regards to education and programs. I have worked on writing workshops for people with dementia, quiet hours events for neurodivergent visitors, and creating access across organisations using large text font, transcripts, audio content and staff training. I currently work as an Access Coordinator, and I can help you or your organisation to work on things like accessible programs, Disability Access and Inclusion Plans, and access assessments.
