Originally from Staffordshire, I'm formally trained in art, design, crafts and photography and a design graduate of the University of Wolverhampton. I'm an award-winning artist, photographer, designer and poet creating unique wellbeing wall art and poetry to inspire people to reconnect with nature on a deeper level and ignite their creativity. I'm a Stroud-based artist who creates unique works of photographic art, mixed-media sketches, and paintings. I also create nature explosions that captivate and inspire and can be applied at any scale, from framed media to walls and immersive environments. As a published poet and director of The Gloucestershire Poetry Society, I perform at open mic events and festivals in the South West of England and further afield. I facilitate poetry workshops and courses to help writers of all levels to find inspiration for their work. I also run creative workshops for business people and entrepreneurs to ignite their creativity. I have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University. My work portrays the beauty that surrounds us, that is so often overlooked in our busy daily lives, transforming the everyday and mundane into captivating and engaging pieces. By engaging with people through the beauty of nature, I seek to encourage positive social and environmental change. The digital age has created a huge disconnect from nature, so it's my mission to educate others to embrace the powerful benefits that nature can gift us but also create a desire to protect it for future generations. If we love nature, we are passionate about preserving it, and art and words are transformational tools for healing, personal growth and creativity. Stroud Gloucestershire
