I have been working to support artists’ professional development through roles as an artist mentor at Somerset House Studios, as a volunteer mentor for Arts Emergency and through running art programs for young people with Somerset House and Camden Arts Centre.

Within my own practice I have secured funding from Arts Council England, UK trusts and foundations, development funds and international academic and arts partners.

Key knowledge areas include: film & video, visual arts, choreographic work and writing.

Sam Williams served as my mentor during my residency at Somerset House. As I was developing my film Ana Min Wein, his feedback and guidance were extremely valuable, especially since it was my first experience working with moving image. Sam’s approach was thoughtful and supportive—he was always responsive, offering feedback tailored to my specific needs or questions that came up each week. He carefully reviewed prototypes and individual sections of the work, responding with his thoughts and impressions that helped shape the project as it evolved.

What I appreciated most about Sam was his ability to guide me without imposing his opinions. Rather than positioning himself as an authoritative figure, he encouraged me to listen to and develop my own artistic voice. His mentorship was grounded in careful consideration and respect for my creative process.

Throughout the project Sam’s approach ensured the group felt welcomed, listened to and empowered to take risks as they developed a shared visual language of collage, drawing and performance. By the culmination of the project the participants felt at home within the studio, proud of the work they were showing and confident in sharing their ideas, a testament to the environment and collective spirit Sam cultivated through the project.
