Working in a primary, I created their first official children's art gallery. Dean Ormston creator of Black Hammer comics and Barnsley-born artist opened it. The Mayor of Barnsley two weeks officially opened it before covid hit.
Throughout covid, I delivered online art clubs to the school and community. Some were delivered live to isolated families. The artwork was themed around bullying, difference, inclusion, and the community. The final artwork was made into an outdoor gallery on the school drive, for all to enjoy. This can be seen on the Fusion, Barnsley website. I also worked with IVE, to produce videos for the Arts Award to be accessed at home during covid. In January 2022 I helped deliver the whole school art week, Themed around new beginnings, and David Hockney's work.
Working with Barnsley museum sites, delivering art workshops for adults and children. Promoting all sites and their heritage.
In the summer of 2023, I became a freelance artist working on the upcoming Lord of the Rings Exhibition for autumn 2023.
