Participatory Artist

I have worked on a wide range of community and children’s art projects. My background is in disability and mental health nursing and I am very experienced in working with a wide range of abilities and ages - from 2 to 80yrs old. I work in a thoughtful and gentle way and facilitate the creation of interesting and beautiful work. I am an excellent communicator and provide proffesional, fun and stimulating workshops. I have a wide range of workshop skills and am constantly developing new ideas.
