My aims and objectives are diverse and ambitious:

To present artwork which is engaging, that encourages a spiritual response and may at times challenge conventional perceptions.

To open up conversations and explore together questions of our shared humanity.

To deliver inclusive opportunities for all to engage with visual art in all its forms.

To provide stimulating educational and participatory opportunities for schools, families, adult groups and individuals.

To reach out to new audiences, generating more footfall at venues and increasing the frequency of repeat visits.

To make links with ambitions for social action, creating opportunities for associated targeted project work.

To deliver opportunities to promote equality and diversity in a spiritual and cultural context.

To provide equal access to those of all abilities and promote engagement with art.
