I have worked for 8 years facilitating group art projects.
Working both as a professional artist and within a community arts context with women’s groups, youth, Indigenous arts and drug and alcohol programs.
I specialize in felt making, textiles, facillitating creative arts programs, presenting workshops, and with ‘Imagine the Land Project’ participatory installation projects (these are co-facilitated with Croatian artist Ekarasa Prem).
I have extensive experience facilitating high quality art programs suited to a range of abilities, ages and contexts. My greatest pleasure is attending to personal and group needs so we can bring forth the collective insight and depth necessary for us to explore deeper contexts using art mediums.
I am available to write and tailor a community arts program plan to suit your group or organization. I work throughout Australia and New Zealand and am currently based in the Northern Rivers Region of NSW.
To book or for more details particular to your group or organization please contact.
