Creative Facilitation
This short video captures the exhibition we created at Pica Lab to showcase the young artists of Koondoola Primary School — a celebration of identity through self-portraiture, explored with collage, sun-dyeing, and drawing. Guided by Ellie Gold and myself, the students revealed how art becomes a mirror of who we are and who we’re becoming.
The selection of photos below show moments of young artists at work — students from different schools in metro and regional WA, experimenting, making, and discovering their own voice through clay, paint, collage, and nature. As a creative facilitator and artist-in-residence, I guide the process, but their curiosity and imagination lead the way.
Creative Facilitation and Artist Residencies
As a creative facilitator, I’m passionate about nurturing curiosity, play, and self-expression in people of all ages. I work across schools, community centres, regional residencies, and festivals to inspire others to tap into their creative potential. Whether we’re sculpting, creating ephemeral artworks from found objects, or exploring ideas through painting, digital art and printmaking, my workshops are hands-on, playful and full of encouragement to open the windows of the mind to imagination. My workshops focus on process, materials and experimentation rather than the final outcome.
I collaborate closely with teachers, students, emerging artists, and community groups to weave creativity into everyday spaces. Through programs in schools and art residencies, I’ve helped young people find confidence, connection, and joy in creative discovery. My goal is always the same: to open hearts, spark imaginations, and help people connect more deeply, to themselves, to each other, and to the natural world.
This video showcases an exhibition of artworks created with fellow artist, Ellie Glen, myself and Koondoola Primary School students. The photos show students being creative along with some colouful artworks.
