AWARDS &...

A laughing woman in her 40s stands in front of a garden wall. She has curly brown/grey hair and a necklace with a planet on it.

I’m incredibly proud of the awards I’ve won, and been nominated for. Some of these are mine personally, some are for 20 Stories High work more broadly.

Below, I’ve also made a list of some of the other accolades, such as exciting selections and festivals, interesting commissions and publications.
