Community Artist

Mar 1st, 2023 by

I run inclusive community workshops and activities: having a safe space to be creative is a suprisingly rare opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds, and can break down barriers very quickly. It is revitalising, therapeutic and people’s confidence is built by being gently guided by an experienced artist: it can often lead to sharing experiences both good and bad. Sustainability is at the heart of my practice, with most if not all materials used being reclaimed, recycled or natural.

I create a safe space where people are offered a wealth of opportunity and choice in their creativity and self expression. “I’ve never painted before”, “I’m so bad a art!” is quickly overcome as people are supported and get lost in the colours and textures

I run creative events centred on well-being, inclusivity, and empowerment. Sustainability is also at the heart of my practice, with most if not all materials used being reclaimed, recycled or natural. This was an educational art workshop using natural materials, where participants could learn about soil from experts whilst creating sculptures.
