  • A Crankie a day keeps the stories at bay

    Crankies are a simple panorama often made from accessible materials. They are used as a storytelling format. One wet rainy day I came across a website http://www.thecrankiefactory.com/ as I was mindlessly surfing the net. It was a light bulb moment. I love them. This crankie is being used as an example in a school.

  • Art facilitation

    Two days a week I facilitate art practice with  3 groups of people with mental and physical health challenges. I feel as if we learn together sharing knowledge. Their art work and practice is free and expressive. After easter they will be holding a little private soiree for friends and family. We are all getting a bit excited.
