I am an artist, writer and educator. My work is rooted in who we are, our connection with nature and our place in the world. I balance my intuition with my skills and experience.   

 

I get excited about all of my roles as they use what I have learnt whilst living and working for many years in Asia, Africa and Europe.​ For a long time I used my creativity in schools and adapting to new places and cultures. Now I am able to focus on painting, book making and poetry. My work holds a deep sense of self and place.

​

I love to work on projects with others to build community. Creativity shared in a group setting gives the opportunity for participants to explore themselves and get to know others. I believe it is a way we can make strong, inclusive communities. In my teaching and mentoring I explore ways participants can find their own voice and visual language.

These aspects of my work access the training and experience I have in creating compassionate cultures.

​

​I have encountered many people along my journey who have inspired and helped me. Some of them are well known, most of them have been friends and family who have connected with my deeper self, encouraged and supported me whilst allowing me to be myself.
