Chapel Arts Studios (CAS) is a socially engaged contemporary visual arts charity based in Andover, Hampshire. We are one of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisations (NPO).

We are home to a network of associate artists, of all ages and career stages.

With fifteen years experience working in the sector, I have had multiple plays for primary school age children to perform published and have had works for children and families commissioned from theatres and arts organisations. My playwrighting focus is on inclusive history that is curriculum-adjacent or locally relevant and I’m particularly passionate about amplifying the stories of marginalised women and girls from the past. I work with schools and in the community delivering a range of bespoke workshops to young people, families and to those living with dementia and their carers.
