“Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting- over and over, announcing your place in the family of things.”
— Mary Oliver, ‘Wild Geese’.

Children cannot bounce off the walls if we take away the walls

 

I believe giving children the opportunity to play outside, to push their boundaries and connect with the natural world around them is a vital part of their development, never more so than in this technological age.

 

 

Creative workshops and arts teaching

 

There’s nothing I love more than to facilitate collaborative arts projects, teaching groups of children new skills, creativity and interlacing that with natures narrative; with woodland myth and the magic of the meadows. By valuing and cherishing these landscapes my hope is to inspire a generation of guardians for our natural landscapes, not only feeling the magic of the wild places, but appreciating the science and the delicate balance that exists in the ecosystems we wend our way through… I love to facilitate these sessions out in the wilds, but can equally bring the woodlands in to the classroom, using storytelling and imagination to seed imagination and transport my groups out to the dingly dells… If that sounds like the kind of thing that would excite your group and have them dreaming of wolves and wilds places, please do get in contact here to start a conversation about how we can make that happen.

 

Unique artworks, sculptures and installations for events and decor

 

My installation work has seen me work with some amazing clients including the Eden Project and Shambala Music Festival, using mixed media and a passion for natural materials and fabrics to bring elements of the natural world I love so much in to my work. I hold a Masters in Art and Environment from University College Falmouth.
