In December 2015  I painted a mural at the Earth Trust with a large group of youngsters of different ages creating a scene which included forests, grassland, farmland and water . I encourage the children to  think of and paint the wildlife that lives  in these various habitats.  In June 2016  I helped children create a  painting of their village illustrating their houses and school, community centre and church  to commemorate the Queens 90th birthday.  Recently in October 2016 I helped Long Wittenham  village children to commemorate the planting of a new apple orchard through painting a picture which is  on display at Sylva, the Wood Centre, Long Wittenham . I like to work with children and encourage them to free up and enjoy using paint. I also help young people who have become ‘stuck’ with their sketch books and help them to reconnect with their love of Art.
