I've followed my interest in art through from GCSE to A level then did a foundation course at Thurrock College. I joined START in April last year and have exhibited art with the group and have also been encouraged to share my interest with them.
I was a keen attendant of Art U Need Needs U, I even called myself their No. 1 groupie at one time. I enjoyed many of their events particularly the 'Headless Ghost Tour', which was excellently maneuvered by Chris Lowthorpe from the Arcadian Collective.
I was also very inspired by the Poetry Slam where I met Nee-Hi and Trusay and the MC Fiona Curran. Also the Mis-Guided Walk + Mapping workshop by Wrights and Sites was lots of fun, we got to really use our imagination on that one.
I really liked getting to know Andrea and at the end of the project agreed to carry something on. At first it was going to be regular Speakers Corners, then I decided I wanted to do something I have always wanted to do - community art - so I am organising my own series of events.
I will be mainly organising and co-ordinating and know that the journey isn't easy but want to give this a shot - I just hope I can grab your attention and get you to join in.
The main thing I would say about myself is that I'm probably of average intelligence but I make up with this in determination and inspiration, plus I try very hard to be positive.
