Community Art & Projects

I've been the facilitating artist, developing a multitude of unique projects since 1997, in particular working with young people & communities, in youth, community, environmental and mental health settings. The work i do gives groups and individuals opportunities to publicly make a difference with new skills, building confidence, often to improve their home space, have a voice in their community, develop personal insights and alternative viewpoints on life, helping widen horizons and raise self esteem.   My ability to work this way comes from lots of training, professional & personal experience, self awareness and my own healing.  The key to it all is engagement, focus and creative enjoyment.
