A little bit about me! |
I believe that mosaic art can be used
to assist individuals and groups to develop their self esteem, self
ability, educational needs, empowerment, inclusion and communication
skills.
Since the summer of 2002 I've worked full time as a Community Mosaic
Artist.
I have the skills needed to carry out a range of different projects
ranging from short mosaic tasters workshops to working with a community
to create large scale art that has been created by themselves and
placed within their community.
I pride myself in achieving projects in a methodical manner within
the necessary guidelines, costings and completion dates –
and I believe in post project evaluation.
I am passionate that local art should be created by the individuals
and groups living and working within the area and so I always describe
myself as a Community Mosaic Artist.

| Before setting up Mosaic Madness, I was a Learning
Disabilities Nurse for ten years which have me a wide range of experience
of working with groups and individuals who have specific needs. All
of this has then been brought into my current work as a Community
Mosaic Artist. |
