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…
