My professional background is in Advertising, Marketing and Management. I have worked in a senior role in global companies in London and in developing markets.
My role on the team is Event Management. Co-Ordinating the Teams, managing the timelines, taking on the finance role, ensuring that all the administration necessary to run the event is done.
I have been involved with local community art projects for many years, both individually as an artist and as a team member.
Chepstow Festival of Art is an exceptional, inspirational art event for the artists exhibiting and the hundreds of visiting public. The opportunity to show and talk to people directly about their work gives the artist a unique networking experience. It helps with their confidence and expertise to continue their professional careers.
My role in the team is artistic direction, website developer and team leader for exhibiting artists. By helping and supporting the Chepstow Festival of Arts in their endeavour, I hope to give back to the community and help emerging artists have the platform they need to further their art careers.
I am a professional Project Manager working in the Defence industry, with a focus on research and design projects.
I have been involved in the Chepstow Festival of Arts for the last two years, initially as part of an exhibiting photography club, and then in 2022 leading the photography exhibition and contributing widely to the overall coordination and logistics of the event. For 2023 I am leading the steering committee and the overall event.
My role in the team is running the Artisan Craft in St Mary’s Church using the skills I acquired whilst teaching science to teenagers for 30 years. My organising, planning and people skills were essential for my success throughout that time.
In two of the previous years I was lead in the Youth Creativity Section of the Chepstow Festival of Art. I do not consider myself particularly creative which is why I am in awe of the talented people we have exhibiting with us each year and thoroughly enjoy being in their presence hoping to gain a little of their talent by osmosis.
