I grew up in Findhorn village. In 1989 she moved to Edinburgh to study Drama and Community Arts at Telford College. In 1993, I initiated, programmed and produced my first multi-artform showcase 'Artistic Upstarts' at the 369 Gallery. In 2010 I programmed and produced the inaugural Culture Night Belfast, over 100 arts and cultural organisations, across the city took part in a one night showcase extravaganza attracting 15, 000 people to events. In between, I has been continuously self-employed in a vast and varied spectrum of arts-sector roles. I am delighted to be back in Moray and to be involved in the diverse and vibrant artistic community.
