Community Involvement
2000 - Ongoing
Pepper Street Arts Centre visiting artist in residence working with local young people from a range of schools, including Burnside and Magill Primary Schools. As visiting artist for the past nineteen years I have facilitated classes of young people from local schools to visit each of the solo exhibitions I have had at Pepper Street Gallery – a total of seven exhibitions. The gallery visits involve children learning about art within a professional gallery environment where they participate by making their own artworks inspired by the exhibition themes. These gallery visits which I have organised since 2000 for each exhibition I have had at Pepper Street Gallery, engages with an average of 900 children attending each of the exhibitions.
