CREATIVE NEURODIVERGENCE
I am an artist who works collaboratively with people and places as much as paints and pencils. I like to mix elements to create change, shift perspective and unlock potential. Upcycling, drawing, printing, performance, storytelling and walking are processes that help me to understand and connect to myself and to the world around me. In recent years I have realised that collaboration is perhaps the most important tool in my art box. My creativity feels most alive and vibrant when it connects and sparks with other people’s experiences and understanding.
Navigating my daughters autism diagnosis and her exclusion from mainstream education has been a time when I needed creativity the most. I am so grateful to my creative collaborators, change makers, neurodivergent movers and shakers...
Thank you for affirming the power of Art as the catalyst for social change!
CELEBRATING DIVERSITY
THROUGH CREATIVITY
Our neurodivergent workshops fuse creativity and inclusivity, capturing the essence of diverse human experience.
We collaborate with neurodivergent artists and musicians, performers and growers, children and families to make new exiting projects.
Our ethos is to embrace uniqueness and find inspiration in new ways of seeing, sensing and connecting to the world and each other.
POLYCHROME CARDS
CREATIVE TOOLKIT
Through making, walking, listening and talking with neurodivergent families, an interactive artwork has emerged.
Polychrome cards are used by individuals and institutions, for personal and professional reflection and development.
Taking a painterly and poetic approach to neurodivergence we can imagine new pathways and create new possibilities.
NATURE NURTURES
"To us people with special needs, nature is as important as our own lives. The reason is that when we look at nature we receive a sort of permission to be alive in this world, and our entire bosies get recharged. However often we're ignored and pushed away by other people, nature will always give us a good big hug, here inside our hearts." Naoki Higashida - The Reason I Jump
