Artwork
Through my work I touch on the subtle and intuitive part of life. Those things we all feel, go through and see all around us, often without giving them much notice, attention or importance.
I am interested in exploring the connection and relationship between nature and culture and the human inner and outer experience within it. I use many different materials and means of creative expression (performance, film, sculpture and installation) and it is this concept that unites my whole body of work.
Myths, folklore, fairytales as well as my life experiences and everyday observations all inform my practice. The materials and their combinations I use in my work often say more than one can see at the first sight. I carry out an extensive research into their symbolic meanings, connections and uses in culture.
Symbolism is very important in my work as I believe that primal imagery and symbols hold a great power of communication which is understood by all people regardless of their language, nationality, age or education. I try to reach out to people on a subconscious and emotional level.'

Healing
I believe that by connecting to your heart, your intuition and the energies of our environment and focusing on living in the present moment you discover who you truly are and what is your purpose in life.
Using variety of creative processes and the spiritual practices of shamanic healing , guided meditation, visualisation, sound therapy and storytelling I guide people to get in touch with their heart, body and soul enabling them to find the inner peace and joy within and through it gaining the clarity and courage to fullfill their ambitions and dreams.
Community
My creative practice is closely connected with the creative community projects and courses and at the forefront of both practices is my love both for people and nature and the need to share it with others.
I have found that the interaction with people informs and conceptually feeds back into my creative work. It has given me a deeper understanding of how people perceive and understand art and how beneficial it can be to one’s wellbeing.
Storytelling
Stories, myths and folklore have always been a big part of my creative practice. I have also used storytelling within my work as a creative community practitioner with different age and social groups as a part of the creative projects I have designed and delivered.
I have always been fascinated and inspired by myths, ancient tales as well as everyday stories and enjoyed reading, listening and telling them. In fact it was the stories that first inspired my interest in creative arts.
But it wasn't until late summer 2024 I finally felt ready to take it to the next level, learn more and start including the art of oral storytelling within my proffesional creative and community practice.
So I joined TRACS Storytelling Apprenticeship through the Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh. This has given me a confidence to perform stories in public as well as meeting some amazing and inpiring people. I am still at the very beginning of this journey but I am absolutely loving it for I truly believe stories especially the really old ones offer a great wisdom and inspiration for us all.
