I work as an independent curator specialising in contemporary equine art.I provide curatorial direction for exhibitions, projects,
and professional practice, working with artists, galleries, institutions, and organisations where clarity, context, and positioning matter.
With more than ten years of experience, I work with artists and art professionals who are serious about placing equine art within a contemporary framework. My approach is curator-led, structured, and focused on the work itself.

Equine art curation and advisory
Curatorial direction
Curatorial direction means stepping in early to clarify ambition, sharpen focus, and support strong decision-making before choices are fixed.
This may involve:
-
Refining an exhibition or project concept
-
Supporting artistic or professional direction
-
Advising on commissions, collections, or positioning
-
Taking on a curatorial role within a project or organisation
All collaborations are shaped around what the work actually needs.
How collaboration begins
All new collaborations begin with an initial curatorial conversation.This conversation allows me to understand the context,
assess the work or project, and determine whether I am the right person to be involved.
This initial curatorial conversation is a paid professional engagement.
It is a focused, curator-led discussion designed to:
-
Clarify the current situation
-
Identify what is actually needed
-
Establish whether collaboration makes sense
-
Determine an appropriate next step
Following the conversation, I outline the recommended way forward clearly. No decisions are required during the conversation itself. Returning clients are welcome to get in touch directly to discuss next steps.
Ways of working
Depending on the scope and nature of the work, collaboration may take different forms, including:
-
A focused curatorial or strategic conversation
-
A defined curatorial development trajectory
-
Longer-term curatorial direction within a project or organisation
Fees are aligned with the scope, responsibility, and context of the work.
