An important part of my art practice and something I really enjoy is facilitating a creative space for others to connect with their artistic side. Everyone is creative, but not everyone has the opportunity to dedicate time to developing their creative potential. But it is easier than you think! I truly believe in the importance of play and process, all too often we get stuck with the idea that the result is our objective. Having trained in art therapy, where play and process are key, my workshops always focus on the creative experience, it’s all about having fun and experimenting!

I specialise in cyanotype and mindful photography workshops, but as a multidisciplinary artist myself, I can also offer a variety of workshops tailor-made to your needs.
I deliver group workshops to both adults and children and have experience working with schools and developing community art projects. I also offer one to one mindful photography sessions.
