Murrisk Mural
Murrisk National School wanted to paint something on the outside of their school which would reflect the vibrance of the School on the inside and its exceptionally beautiful suroundings.
One sunny Monday morning the whole school went for a long walk down to the beach and took their sketchbooks to REALLY observe their environment and talk about what it meant to them. In the following 4 days I spent time with each child developing their interpretation of the particular subject they had chosen to explore and by Thursday we were ready to build the composition. We looked at Paul Henrys work and talked about Hockneys colours and graphics. The individual drawings were projected onto Marine ply prepped boards and they all came back to paint their part.
The result is the most wonderful expression of the children's appreciation of where they live. The Mural is bursting with colour and content and illustrates the huge variety of History, nature, leisure pursuits and heritage in such a small area.
It is a very rewarding experience to guide a child to create something they didn't know they were capable of, not just individually but as a team and the finished design is now available as a printed card to raise funds for the school .Contact [email protected] for details .

Exterior Mural
St Joseph's After School Club
This workshop was funded by Irish in Birmingham by the inspirational Pat Wright.
The children exchanged their experiences and memories of Ireland – Family,sport, music, Legends, holidays,rainbows. We looked at the social history contained in old letters between emmigrants and stamps from 1870 to present day. Each stamp was identified from the catalogues and then they selected their own collection of used stamps to stick on a small vase ready for a
flower or a tea light. All washed down with pink lemonade
and Tatoes with some traditional irish music just to keep us focussed.

Jigsaw Art Project



National Trust



It is some what enlightening and rare to find artists and creative facilitators that can build on the bones of your initial concepts and use them to create resources and inclusive opportunities for audiences, participants and community.
With the National Trust Whose Story? Project which was an exciting initiative which aimed to engage and attract audiences from Black and Minority backgrounds to the National Trust who wouldn’t normally visit. Nicky worked on the ‘Access All Areas’ project at Croome Park in Worcester 2008/2009; again as a scriptwriter/facilitator creating an audio tour for the parkland. Exploring how cultures from all over the world were reflected at Croome, from the trees to the people who lived there. Along with audio artist Sarah Wilson and Redditch based youth group Caribbean Roots Connection produced an audio tour narrated by William Dean, who was Head Gardener at Croome in 1824 plus the young people acting the parts of 18 century characters who may have worked or lived at Croome.
Corporate
This team building excersise for BCA engaged all the staff who were dressed as candles to celebrate the companies 50th Birthday. I painted the Auction platform that they stood on as a giant cake which looked good enough to eat but we distributed slices of a replica cake to customers for fun.
