During 2024 I worked with Arts Together and four groups of older people across Wiltshire, to run a project that supported participants to map their memories of a place or places of importance to them. Together we used drawing, painting and collage to create fold out maps and archive boxes that documented and shared favourite places with each other, from the places where we grew up, to gardens planted with loved ones and cruise ship destinations.

Wild Art was an outdoor art and wellbeing project which took place at different Wiltshire Wildlife Trust nature reserves around the Salisbury area in the Summer of 2024. Participants were supported to use art to record the wildlife that they noticed, as we walked and talked together. In this project I collaborated with Andrea Turner from WWT to plan and run each session.

The Ripple Effect was a 2-year long art ecology, archaeology and wellbeing project, devised in partnership with Leigh Chalmers of Wessex Archaeology, and funded as part of The Salisbury River Park Project.

The project used art and archaeology to support participants to learn about the past, present and future of the River Avon as Salisbury. You can watch the project film here. 2022 to 2024.

Noticing Nature was an art and wellbeing project that I devised and facilitated for Celebrating Age Wiltshire, between 2021 and 2023. As part of the project I created a downloadable information pack, video tutorials, and ran project sessions in collaboration with individuals and groups of older people across the county, using art to make connection with local flora and fauna.

In this project with Andover Trees United, I worked with three local schools and their associated communities, to explore and learn about local chalkstreams. Together we developed activity backpacks, using the children's design ideas, which can now be used by ATU with local groups, to support them to learn more about the Andover area's rich ecological heritage. Summer 2022.

The Earthworks project with Wessex Archaeology for Well City Salisbury saw me working with a group of Salisbury Residents, based in Victoria Park for 8 weekly evening sessions. Together we walked out from the park to explore the local area, documenting our experiences using art, and hearing from experts in archaeology and mapping. Spring/Summer 2022

For the Wessex Museums Trust's Wildlife in the Red and Museum Connect projects, I was asked to create two short videos, sharing ways that groups of young people could respond to objects from museum collections during the time of Covid. The first film responded to the Donald Grose Herbarium at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes, and showed how to make and use a Biodiversity Journal. In the second, I visited Salisbury Plain before making a Great Bustard mask/headdress, inspired by the stuffed Bustards at Salisbury Museum, and the Great Bustard Group's reintroduction project on the Plain. Spring/Summer 2020

Ash Tree Stream was an art and outdoor learning project funded by Arts Council England. Working in partnership with Andover Trees United, CAS (Chapel Arts Studios) and five Andover schools, we used art as a way to learn about Ash Trees and Ash Die Back disease, within the context of Andover's cultural and natural heritage. See here for recordings of associated online events including a panel discussion on the role of art within outdoor learning. October 2019 to December 2020.

Play together, Learn Together was a research project set up by 5x5x5=creativity, exploring the role that creative, child-led practice could play, in supporting the transition of children between two Twerton based nurseries (First Steps Twerton and Twerto Infant School Nursery) and Twerton Infant School. I and fellow artist Catherine Lamont Robinson, together with musician Beth Vleminckx, were resident in the two nurseries in Spring/Summer 2018, before Catherine and I 'moved up' with the children to work alongside them and their Reception teacher in the Autumn Term.

Working with local people through the Test Valley District Council's Four Fun Fridays street festival, together with fellow CAS associate artists and Andover Museum, from a base of The Bus of Many Things.

During the Summer Term of 2018 I worked with St Andrews Primary's Year 4 children, as part of School Without Walls.
