The Redcliffe Collective
We are The Redcliffe Collective, A team of independent artists that have united to bring colour, positivity and art to the streets in large-scale collaborative projects. The collective features 10 established artists with a wide range of skills and styles in their tool kit. Together we collaborate on large-scale mural projects.
Our first project was on Redcliffe Street in Swindon. This mural featured 10 archways mirroring local architecture, each one populated by an original design from each of our artists. My contribution to this mural is a portrait of Edith new, a famous suffragette from our town's history. Painted in the unique style created for Grimm Towers.
With more community projects and commissions in the pipeline, we're excited to transform this area into a street art destination!

the shoebox theatre
Harrie is a charity trustee with the Shoebox Theatre and associate artist with the resident theatre company, Wrong Shoes. Her artwork is scattered around the theatre from bespoke portraiture to props from past productions.
GRIMM TOWERS
"The Memorial Mural of Muriel" is a unique commission for, Grimm Towers, a play directed by Andrew McPherson (2019-2022).
Andrew writes "The play is set on a neglected social housing estate and captures a community caught in the tightening hand of government cuts, compassionless officials and the culture of profits over people. The image depicts Muriel, the grandmother of the play’s protagonist. Having saved the estate from its last major threat, she is heralded as the saviour of Grimm Towers. When she passed, this mural was created to remind the residents of their power, their resilience and their duty to provoke change."
As an artist, I adore creating visual art for theatre. Particularly when it has a beautiful heart & political statement behind the story, this has to be one of my favorite collab projects in my career so far. I hope to have the opportunity to work on similar projects in the future. #artivism
