Daisy is responsible for coordinating the Creative Coast project.  This aims to engage people with the Site through high quality arts experiences.  Daisy provides the strategic overview of potential creative partners and projects which wish to work with the World Heritage Site.  She develops partnerships directly with both local organsiations and regional, national and international ones which will join together the family of World Heritage Sites and encourage creative participation in the global citizenship agenda.

Much of the focus of the work so far has been in partnership with local and regional cultural organisations, and with an eye towards 2012 and animating the sailing events at Weymouth and Portland.  Going forward we will be focusing our efforts on several large scale projects. See www.jurassiccoast.com/arts for more information about these.

Daisy studied Physics, Chemistry and Biology at A-level, and then went on to Edinburgh University where she graduated with MA(hons) in Social Anthropology, specialising in how art and music shape the society in which we live. She has always been involved in the arts, as a creator, performer, facilitator, manager and audience member, and is passionate about contributing to and engaging with the communities in which she has lived and worked.  The bulk of her previous career has been in London in arts education and community engagement for the Arts Council, Lewisham EAZ, Cultural Co-operation, The Royal Festival Hall, and the Hackney Empire.

However, she's no stranger to this area - her grandmother was the portrait photographer Helen Muspratt who lived and worked in Swanage and Oxford from the 1920s to the 1980s.
