Collaborations
Collaborative projects have enriched my practice for over 20 years now. Working with individuals and communities to co-create artworks that reflect shared experiences and collective histories is immensely rewarding. The workshops create space where participants are encouraged to engage with their own creativity using traditional and digital mediums, exploring identity, place, creativity and value. These workshops act as both a learning space and a bridge between artistic practice and relationship building.
