Artist and researcher working at the intersection of sound, emotion and the sensing of space.

My work investigates how music makes us feel expanded. I use sound, gaze and the sensing of space as my way of exploring this.

I am interested in how orientation affects what we hear and feel, how we sense space beyond what we can touch, and how sound can produce a felt sense of vastness and connection. This enquiry draws on emotion science, embodied perception research, and over twenty years of practice as an artist, composer and therapist.

I am currently developing The Opening Series, supported by an Arts Council Wales Creative Steps Award. The first piece, FEEL, maps bodily sensation to gaze direction, investigating how the direction of the gaze shapes the quality of sound and the felt sense of space.

As a composer my work spans therapeutic audio, electronic-orchestral composition, and applied music. I hold an MMus in Music and Sound (2024), with research into musical awe and bilateral composition. I have co-written with professional songwriters including a Eurovision entry with Michael Garvin, and have had songs commercially published.

My background also includes psychotherapy (BABCP-accredited, specialising in EMDR and Brainspotting), occupational therapy, sound therapy, and integrative arts. I am the author of Do I Need to See a Therapist? (2021). I am based in Mid Wales.
