I ran my first art and craft workshop in 1997 for a charity in Brighton called Mosaic. Since then, I have had the pleasure of working all over the UK, in schools, with community groups and for companies. All were concerned in increasing inclusion, diversity and equality amongst all new and existing communities.
My unique style of delivery uses my knowledge of the curriculum alongside arts practice, to strengthen students learning.
