I am a visual artist and arts educator working with colour, textiles, minerals, clay, seeds, flowers and pigments that I extract from plants around me and nearby.

I specialise in sustainable wellbeing workshops and mindful sessions for community groups, CPD and staff training for small companies and institutions.

I have been working with natural dyes since 2019 and have an extensive experience planning and delivering creative and engaging sustainable workshops for people of all ages and many backgrounds.

I see these experiences as tools for learning but also for grounding and reflection that aim to connect with ourselves and with others in a supportive, non judgemental safe space. Interested in mental health and wellbeing, I nurture environments where people can reach a deeper level of understanding of their feelings and emotions, allowing time for play and exploration with a focus on the process of making and collective learning.
