Alia

I am an award-winning visual artist using moving image to create video art and installations, often incorporating multidisciplinary, site-specific and live artworks. The main focus of my work is how art and technology can be used to explore the embodiment of space by the self and other, while challenging notions of absence and presence, real and simulated, and live versus mediated experience. I use specialised equipment and innovative filmmaking techniques to engage audiences, allowing them to bring their own sense of self and experiences to the artworks.

I am a Free Lance Artist Educator who is passionate about creating safe inclusive spaces that nurture people’s creativity.  I started Home Ed Creatives 4 years ago – LIVE Online Group Art Classes for Home Educated children from the UK and abroad. I have since stared running in person sessions in various settings (Museums, Sports Centres and Community Centres)  for participants of a variety of ages and abilities. I have a personal creative practice, working mainly in watercolours.  I also have a small business selling cards and products  with my Art work on them.

I’m a coach, consultant, and facilitator helping arts and culture organisations strengthen boards, improve governance, and plan for a sustainable future. I work with creative, purpose-driven teams to make change practical – whether through board development, leadership coaching, or strategic planning. With experience across charities, cultural organisations and business, my goal is simple: help you stay focused, embrace change, and thrive while staying true to your mission.
