COLLABORATIONS AND WORKSHOPS
Alongside my beloved passion projects, collaborating with brands, organisations, and charities I align with is extremely important to my work. Please see my contact page to connect with me and start our creative journey together!
PAINT SCULPT AND SIP WORKSHOP AT THE UWE STUDENT'S UNION
During March of 2022, in celebration of Mental Health Awareness Day and Women's HIstory Month, I collaborated with the Student's Union at The University of The West of England to run a painting and sculpting workshop. I led a vulva sculpting activity to spread awareness of body acceptance and vulva diversity, whilst bringing female pleasure and anatomy into the limelight.

LAZY OAF PROMOTIONAL PUBLICATION
In 2020, I collaborated with other artist to create a promotional publication for 'Lazy Oaf', a unique and bold independent fashion brand. The publication addressed lies we're told as children, and their relation to our management of mental ill health. Two publications depicting the avoidance of social situations through white lies were included in the 'Getting Serious for a Second' insert of the publication.
CHANGES BRISTOL ART WORKSHOP
In 2020, I organised and planned an online Art for Wellbeing Winter Workshop for a group of Changes Bristol service users. Changes Bristol is a charity that supports those with mental health issues in the Bristol area, and is very close to my heart. Activities involved speed drawing exercises, paper cut-outs depicting lockdown experiences, and snowflake-making. The experience catalysed my passion for art and wellbeing, and helped develop my confidence as an art group facilitator. A link to their website can be found here.
LO CKLEAZE COMMUNITY HUB WORKSHOPS
Between September and December 2021, I volunteered at Lockleaze Community Hub with the local neighbourhood trust to facilitate art for wellbeing workshops. Attendees were adults of all ages and abilities and created beautiful artwork (pictured left)
FINDING SOLACE IN SOLITUDE ART WORKSHOP
In February of 2021, I collaborated with another Psychology student to organise and facilitate an online Art for Wellbeing workshop centred around the theme of finding connections in lockdown. Activities included paper cut-out memories, mantra posters, and growth trees (pictured right).
