I believe passionately in "Art for All" whereby everyone
of all ages and abilities can be involved with creative projects
and can have the opportunity of seeing their art put on display
in public place. I have undertaken design and management work
as well as the "tutor" role for a variety of projects
for schools and adults both in the UK and overseas; just a small
selection of past projects are listed below - please visit Latest
