I'm very happy to share an interview that was conducted by the lovely Isabel George, founder of ENVIROWOMENUK. I met Isabel at Loughborough Uni LAGS apple pressing event in October 2024 and she told me about her platform for women who were involved environmental projects.  So we collaborated to produce this interview about the Fruit Routes Project. I hope you enjoy watching it, and please do connect and support Isabel's ENVIROWOMENUK platform here. The youtube video can be seen on the LU ARTS  channel.

LPW members show @ LPW Friday 25th October

25/10/2024

 
Picture
In early September I ran a Garden Mudras session at the wonderful Windmill Community Gardens, (for Growing Forward CiC). It was a stunning afternoon, filled with early autumn sunshine and blooming hollyhocks greeting us into the space. The Garden Mudras prints created by the group and myself were startling, and I have selected one of the pieces to be part of the LPW members show which opens on Friday October 25th. I hope to attend the launch evening and would be delighted to see any of you that wish to come along and see all the amazing works my fellow LPW artists. It's also the last Friday of the month so all of the cultural quarter will be hosting an evening of events to enjoy.

Breathworks: Medical Research Collaboration

3/9/2024

 
Picture
Last May (2023) I was approached by PhD student Holly Drover (who works under the Wellcome Trust Leicestershire Health Inequalities Improvement Programme) to collaborate with her to devise an arts based workshop to investigate breathlessness for groups of people who have a range of conditions which affect their breathing. I designed a workshop for the groups using watercolour techniques to express how individuals felt about their breath and exploring their felt experience through embodied practices, of meditation and walking in nature. The workshops were held at Botanic Garden Leicester University in April 2024. And the results of the workshops alongside the research Holly conducted was presented in an exhibition on 3rd September this year.  An article was published about the event here.
