After finishing art school I undertook additional training in mental health work, and worked for over five years in frontline mental health roles as well as training in group facilitation through various activist and community projects.</p> <p>I have expertise in meeting facilitation, active listening and person-centred self care work, as well as supporting people to develop healthy boundaries and collaborative practices. In my visual art practice I specialise in translating handmade illustrations into digital, print and mural designs with a focus on site-specific community based projects. I have a keen interest in the role of liveable places to enhance health, and recently undertook a Foundation Certificate in Urban Design as well as Arts Council-funded training with a feminist urban design studio, to look at ways for public art to support active use of spaces by more diverse groups. I'm currently undertaking further training in landscape architecture.</p> <p>My favourite projects are ones where I get to bring these skills together, supporting organisations to maximise the potential of their place, by imagining possible futures together and giving these visual form. I'm particularly interested in opportunities for collaboration on projects bringing together healthy placemaking, mural art and architectural design.</p> <p>Do you have a place or project in mind? <a href="contact">Drop me a line</a>!</p> <p>聽</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <footer class="mt-auto footer-light text-dark bg-secondary"> <div class="container"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-sitefooter" class="block block-block-content block-block-contentee238cda-60c2-4c8b-9503-7708de2b939d"> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><div class="site-footer"> <ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/elnornorg/"><img alt="Insta" src="/sites/default/files/2022-08/footerIcon-insta.png" /></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/NorPublicArt/"><img alt="Mark Zuckerberg's Creepy Stalking Machine" src="/sites/default/files/2022-08/footerIcon-fb.png" /></a></li> <li><a href="/contact"><img alt="Good ol' email" src="/sites/default/files/2022-08/footerIcon-email.png" /></a></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <script type="application/json" data-drupal-selector="drupal-settings-json">{"path":{"baseUrl":"\/","scriptPath":null,"pathPrefix":"","currentPath":"node\/11","currentPathIsAdmin":false,"isFront":false,"currentLanguage":"en"},"pluralDelimiter":"\u0003","suppressDeprecationErrors":true,"blazy":{"loadInvisible":false,"offset":100,"saveViewportOffsetDelay":50,"validateDelay":25,"container":"","loader":true,"unblazy":false},"blazyIo":{"disconnect":false,"rootMargin":"0px","threshold":[0,0.25,0.5,0.75,1]},"slick":{"accessibility":true,"adaptiveHeight":false,"autoplay":false,"autoplaySpeed":3000,"pauseOnHover":true,"pauseOnDotsHover":false,"pauseOnFocus":true,"arrows":true,"downArrow":false,"downArrowTarget":"","downArrowOffset":0,"centerMode":false,"centerPadding":"50px","dots":false,"dotsClass":"slick-dots","draggable":true,"fade":false,"focusOnSelect":false,"infinite":true,"initialSlide":0,"lazyLoad":"ondemand","mouseWheel":false,"randomize":false,"rtl":false,"rows":1,"slidesPerRow":1,"slide":"","slidesToShow":1,"slidesToScroll":1,"speed":500,"swipe":true,"swipeToSlide":false,"edgeFriction":0.35,"touchMove":true,"touchThreshold":5,"useCSS":true,"cssEase":"ease","cssEaseBezier":"","cssEaseOverride":"","useTransform":true,"easing":"linear","variableWidth":false,"vertical":false,"verticalSwiping":false,"waitForAnimate":true},"user":{"uid":0,"permissionsHash":"48b3552cc1161e0797bd16552787c7b59c8178dbe0fdec2e185d3669da2a6217"}}</script> <script src="/sites/default/files/js/js_IDWg6_LfL1pW3SEcoH3gBeM88ajmBQ0fAoXz_Br1nlA.js"></script> </body> </html>
