(took up a creative residency in 2013, FreeSpace, ‘Transformations’)
‘From the moment I was asked to take up a creative residency for a month, I was overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity displayed. I was supported wholeheartedly. I was provided with a mentor which was so helpful and decided to talk about my experience in journal form on ArtiPeeps.
I did a collaboration with a number of poets during the first month and then I was asked if I would like to extend my journal to become a resident artist on ArtiPeeps. I excitedly accepted the offer. I went on to write a regular journal. I also did 3 collaborations under the ‘FreeSpace’ initiative with the very talented poet @Nat Hall via ArtiPeeps which was amazing. I really connected with Nat and the collaborations were so much fun to do.
I was then amazed to be asked to take part in an exhibition in Norfolk this coming September 2014. ‘Transformations’ will be a mixture of poets and artists brought together by ArtiPeeps based on Metamorphoses by Ovid. The work will also be featured in a book. Artipeeps and Nicky has helped me tremendously with enthusiasm, support and encouragement and has provided me with my first opportunity to display my art at an exhibition. I have also been able to connect with other creatives via ArtiPeeps as well.

‘a wonderful process to go through! What i enjoyed most was becoming a blank canvas myself, so as to create something original and entirely inspired by the emotion i felt when reading Becca’s poem.’ (2013)

‘On a side note, I’m delighted with the collaboration that was put up today. I was hoping my artwork could compliment Lucy’s poem and I’m really pleased with how they work alongside each other. You’re really are doing great work with ArtiPeeps. Thanks’
