From the day
we’re born we
all have an instinct for creativity. Just
put a blank piece of paper in front of any toddler with some coloured pens to
realise this. Somewhere along the way we get ‘educated’ and most lose the
belief and importance of creative expression and play.
I founded the
The Art Station to host public open art pop up stations in communal spaces
where members of the public can contribute to a finished piece of work offering
a platform to encourage artistic expression in the community.
Alongside The
Art Station I work with many different groups and organisations as a
facilitator, practicing artist, commissioned graphic designer, filmmaker,
photographer and musician.
I have been commissioned
by numerous art organisations including Momentum Arts, Cambridge Community
Arts, Market Place, St Peters Lodge, Eastlands Mental Health Rehab to name a
few.
My passion is engaging with people,
encouraging them and seeing them excited and inspired by art.
I lead fun and relaxed art sessions with a focus on improving wellbeing for
individuals and making art accessible for everyone, regardless of experience
and ability.
With this in mind, I have developed an
online art course titled ‘The Language of Paint’.

I believe everyone has an inner artist and my aim is to facilitate people to realise this.
