I am an academic based at Edinburgh Napier University, and a visual artist. In both aspects of my work, I am concerned with people and places through the lens of tourism, both as a phenomenon, and as a set of practices. My interests reflect how we gaze upon, experience, and perform tourism when we engage with spaces and places. My artwork and research are linked, and each informs the other. I am particularly interested in narratives of visual culture, tourism, and the tourist gaze, alongside festivals, and cities.
