Visual Artist & Craft Maker Award: Dundee

A self-directed project, across twelve months, to build a professional development plan with mentorship from local artists, including:

​

Alison Scott

Nicola Wiltshire

Esther Donaldson

Kirsten Wilson

Jill Skulina 

​

I moved to Dundee in 2022, and I was looking to strengthen my network, particularly in person.

 

It is the first chance I’ve had to work without the pressure of a fixed, end result, and it offered the freedom to experiment and explore.

​

I approached local artists who work across all mediums, and particularly those who make work with a strong social conscience, and explored:

​​​- accessing new, nearby professional networks

- how and where to focus on showing work

- how and where to propose a residency that could facilitate a medical humanities focus
