* Give me a tight brief about your environmental or community-related conundrum and I’ll give you a creativity workshop for your internal/external stakeholders *
I love facilitating novel ways for organisations and individuals to seek fresh perspectives. A creative breakthrough is powerful, and creative pursuits can help to spark self-improvement, original ideas, or innovation.
Mostly self-taught, with some formal training as a creativity facilitator in England, since 2012 I have delivered many hundreds of hours of adult creative expression sessions for a range of public and private organisations, festivals, and community groups in London and Sydney.
FOUNDER OF ART HUT IN LONDON'S BATTERSEA PARK
I enjoyed a five year Art Hut collaboration with a therapeutic gardening charity serving the London public. In their delightful English garden, I delivered nature-inspired public exhibitions and creativity workshops for individuals, pairs, and groups.
As an Independent Curator in London, I have produced many public exhibitions showcasing professional and aspiring artists alike. All of my curations have featured collaborative workshops with artists across sculpture, painting, drawing, cartooning, printmaking, dance, and poetry, and partnerships with charities, youth clubs, schools, public gardens, community centres, public venues, residential networks, and festival organisers.
COLLABORATIVE CREATIVE
Delivering creativity workshops is one of a number of ways that I practise and stretch my collaborative approach to my artistic expression and curiosity. I am a Collaborative Creative. I find inspiration through making conceptual art, dancing, observing wildlife and bird song, walking in green and blue spaces, music, singing, theatre, and political and societal observations.
SUSTAINABILILTY PROFESSIONAL
I offer a range of sustainability soft skills across external communications, engagement, and creativity. Since 1998, my sustainability career has focused on environmental and community-based initiatives in Australia and Europe.
