art and healing, art as therapy, art in the community; art and spirituality; creative projects for people with and without disability
These preoccupations have informed my artistic practice in the time since, in mid-life, I gained an Art and Design Degree at Bradford School of Art in 2006.
I am a Health Professions Council registered Art Psychotherapist, working in and around Leeds. I have a particular interest in working with the elderly, children and bereavement, and those with learning disabilities.
In my own art practice I use the language of shadows, layers, fragments and grids, using drawing, textiles, and experimental materials for installations. I enjoy using historic references as a starting point for my work, having worked with imagery from the spiral tower of Samarra in Iraq, ancient Aramaic script and with costume collections from the Balkans. During 2007/8 I worked with a textile group at Bankfield Museum, Halifax, under the mentorship of Hilary Bower, developing work relating to their collection.
In addition to therapuetic practice, I look for opportunities to run collaborative art projects with an emphasis on building community, exploring issues, or spirituality.
