Overview
I also have extensive specialist experience in arts writing and criticism, and have worked on publications and catalogues for major arts institutions like the Solomon R Guggenheim Museum in New York and Whitechapel Gallery in London, as well as writing text for major international touring art exhibitions.
I have a close eye for detail, but also really enjoy developing text through structure and style in order to make it as strong as possible.
