I started my journey as an advocate for the arts when I founded an online platform named Leap Into the Void – Arts (2012-2015). Through Leap Into The Void-Arts, I supported emerging artists through articles and curated in-person workshops and exhibitions, which led me to receive offers for art residencies. Since then, I have dedicated my time to nurturing the development of others through artistic expression. For over twelve years, I have thrived in facilitating individuals of all ages and backgrounds, including individuals with learning difficulties, autism, disabilities, and mental health challenges, through art and creative practice. My experience spans various settings, including charities, schools, institutions, and private tutoring. I have facilitated and project-managed in-house classes, outreach programmes, and curated exhibitions. I have successfully guided students to improve their artistic skills and academic performance.
My approach is patient and collaborative, focusing on nurturing existing ideas and equipping individuals with the skills and practices to achieve their creative goals.
