I am a cultural development practitioner with 20 years of experience delivering community arts programs, festivals, and public art installations across Victoria. I help organisations create inclusive cultural experiences through strategic partnerships with local government, schools, and community groups. I have a proven track record managing budgets up to $130k and coordinating multi-stakeholder initiatives that engage diverse communities in accessible arts programming.

I work in partnership with Jasmine Powell (hollowvessel.au) to ensure all community engagement projects meet the mental health and well-being needs of the community. Jasmine brings twenty years of experience in community arts and mental health. She draws on a masters of social work, as well as her professional and personal experience, to deliver programs that are safe, inclusive and trauma-informed.

Jasmine and I have co-produced Sanctum Studio since 2006, facilitating projects in community art, public art, live art, festivals, events, film and TV for clients like ABC Me, Moomba Parade, White Night, Melbourne Museum and local councils across Victoria.We bring Sanctum Studio’s resources to all projects we work on, including puppets, props, equipment and materials; as well as access to our extensive network of Melbourne-based creatives and creative partners.

We tailor our community development programs to meet the needs of our clients. Please contact us to discuss your vision.
