I'm an artist. My practice involves painting and walking. I am interested in the parallels between the two and the connection to body, breath and movement. I've always walked but began to see it as being integral to my painting after walking the Camino de Santiago in 2018. I was born in a very beautiful rural region of the UK, bordering Wales which continues to be a place of inspiration and refuge. I consider myself very kind, considerate and curious always wanting to learn and explore. I am a qualified teacher, play piano, ukulele and enjoy singing and yoga. I travel and walk to reflect, to connect and encounter new experiences that fuel my work. I currently live and work in Shropshire and London.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I'm investigating where to do my MFA in Fine Art. Finding the right environment where I can work is important to me. I want to stay with a host so I can get a true insight into living and working here.
