Encouraging creativity in all people is key to Anne's philosophy and can help overcome all kinds of difficulties. The use of recycled materials within this creative process encourages both children and adults to look at the wasted resources existing around them and to re-use them to create something new.
Anne has a PG Dip in Artists in Schools, a course she later helped teach. She has also worked as a mentor to artists training to work in healthcare settings. She has worked with people aged 3 to 93 with a variety of needs and abilities. INSET sessions and Business bonding sessions for organisations are also offered. Please contact for more information about workshops or courses.
Anne has facilitated hundreds of workshops in schools and community settings across London and the South East over the last 30 years.

Artist in Architecture Project, Essex County Council, Mosaic floor, Copper panels, Signage, Stairwell and Library Artworks
A series of 8 artworks developed over a two year period working with the school. The aim was to create artworks involving the children in a recycling theme to help with the transition to the new school building.
The project involved practical workshops with pupils, staff and parents. Individual artworks with the theme of "Journeys" were created and combined to make the large scale artworks. Working closely with architects, builders and the head teacher ensured the artworks were integrated into the fabric of the building.
