Hartlepool Art Gallery | 6th September - 1st November 2025

The Northern Festival of Illustration 2025, under the theme Stories of Home, celebrated visual storytelling across Hartlepool’s vibrant arts venues, including Hartlepool Art Gallery and The Northern School of Art. The festival brought together communities, creatives, and audiences of all ages, highlighting illustration as a lens for connection, memory, and belonging.

Featuring work by over 120 artists and animators.

My work was featured in The Northern Festival of Illustration 2025 at Hartlepool Art Gallery in the UK, reflecting my ongoing exploration of belonging, presence, and the body as the first space we inhabit.
