Community Artist in Bath

My interest in ‘health’ and the interface of art, science and spirituality leads me to projects involving workshops and exhibitions with schools and community groups throughout the South West. These are intended to provide a forum for engaging with topical subjects such as dementia, depression/anxiety, mindfulness / meditation etc…

Bath MIND safe space group

Bath Mind ‘Safe space’ group expressed their artistic talents in this 5 metre long collaborative mural on the theme of ‘sub aqua’ by depicting a variety of sea creatures, Octonauts, treasure chests and of course a yellow submarine.

Currently working with Bath Mind and St. Johns Foundation leading Mindful Art Sessions.
