I am a curator and gallerist based in Deptford, South East London. Over six years have been establishing BEARSPACE, a contemporary art gallery also in Deptford. I have also initiated 'The Bear Cafe' alongside the gallery.

Having gained experience working at Hales Gallery (Deptford) and Matt's Gallery (Hackney) I was inspired by both the curatorial, and the business focus present in the different galleries, leading me to combine the two in my own gallery.

BEARSPACE shows the cutting edge of emerging talent, by promoting recently established artists responding to contemporary stimuli and topics with wit and innovation in a range of media.
