What kind of artist are you?

I run Northampton Film Festival and the world’s smallest arts centre The Creative Place on Northampton Market Square. I believe everyone should be inspired by the place in which they live, so we help people find their creativity and showcase their talents. We provide a space and platform for important stories to be heard and build connections between creatives, audiences and the public.

 

What advice would you give to anyone who wants to be an artist in Northamptonshire?

There is so much here – make sure you visit places and connect with other creatives. And most importantly just keep creating. Doesn’t matter if it’s small or just for you. Keep exercising your creative muscles!

Do you have any memories of Made With Many Projects that are important to you?

I loved working with CANVAS, Made With Many’s youth forum to run the first Well Creative festival. It was great seeing so much creativity on the streets and everyone was so friendly and up for having a go. I have loved working with CANVAS generally, from our first incarnation on Queensway to activities in Hemmingwell and at the Victoria Centre.
