Community is everything.

I see collaborative art making as a potent tool for creating social change, inspiring political engagement, and building greater empathy and understanding among one another.

community art + workshops

My workshops cater to the unique needs and goals of the organizations I am working with, however they are always open-ended, fun and creative. My workshops function as laboratories for ideas and visioning exercises. I use collaborative art making to build community and uncover the imaginations and visions of my clients. They are often the first step in my community led design projects.

My collaborative projects have revealed that the impacts of this work not only affect the individuals involved but benefit the communities that participants return to, creating a ripple effect of positive change. This work turns strangers into friends. Turns blank walls into art, apathy into action and loneliness into joy. In a moment in which we are experiencing more isolation, more mental health crises and ongoing cutbacks to public amenities, this work is so vital.

colour connects

colour connects is a program that aims to transform individuals and their living environments by creating opportunities for communities to alter their surroundings using two powerful and relatively inexpensive tools: colour and collaborative art making. The opportunity to reshape our environment is not just an act of beautification, but also of collective empowerment, connection and aesthetic justice.

My goal as an artist is to not only make people fall love with their surroundings, but also feel proud of their contribution to enhance them.
