Creative Engagement

 

Alongside my visual storytelling practice, I have spent more than three decades facilitating creative engagement projects that use art as a catalyst for dialogue, vision building, and group connection. I have collaborated with schools, health authorities, restorative justice organizations, community programs, and custody centres, developing creative processes that encourage curiosity, participation, and whole-brain thinking. My interactive public art and craftivism projects invite people to become active participants in the creative process.
