Description

I’m an artist with a big interest in sustainable living, nature, and community projects. I volunteer at a community garden where I help with planting, maintaining beds, and general garden tasks, and I really enjoy being outdoors and working with the seasons. I’m always happy to help with gardening, growing food, and caring for green spaces.

Creativity is a big part of my life. I make art using a mix of materials and enjoy painting, print-making, textiles and working with found or natural objects. I love places where creativity is part of everyday life and would be especially interested in projects that involve art or craft in some way.

I also have a real love for animals. I rode horses for several years when I was younger and feel comfortable around them. I’m very happy helping with animal care, grooming, cleaning, feeding, or just lending a hand wherever needed.

More details about your skills

I’m a practical and creative person who enjoys getting stuck into hands-on work and learning new skills. I’m reliable, adaptable, and happy to help wherever it’s needed.

I volunteer at a community garden where I help with things like planting, weeding, maintaining beds, and growing vegetables for the local community. I really enjoy working outdoors and being around plants, and I’m interested in sustainable growing and caring for green spaces. I don’t mind physical work and I’m happy getting my hands dirty.

Creativity is a big part of my life. I’m an artist and enjoy painting, crafts, and working with a mix of materials, including found and natural objects. I’d love to help with any creative or making projects, whether that’s art, decoration, simple building projects, or learning new craft skills.

I also work as an artist assistant for a disabled textiles artist, where I help with practical tasks in the studio and support with making work. I have learned much about being attentive and supportive and I love helping others to live more fully or bring creative ideas to life. It's really what community is all about, I think :).

I love animals and feel comfortable around them. I rode horses for several years when I was younger and would be very happy helping with feeding, grooming, cleaning stables, or general care. Overall I’m a friendly and curious person who enjoys contributing, learning new things, and being part of creative, nature-focused environments.

What else ...

Outside of work and volunteering I’m someone who enjoys simple, creative ways of spending time. I love being outdoors, going for walks, and exploring new places, especially anywhere with interesting nature or wildlife. I’m really interested in ecology and the natural world and enjoy photography, particularly taking photos of plants, landscapes, and small details in nature (which I do for a local community organisation and heritage space back home!)

I also enjoy making things in my spare time. I'm a freelance artist so you will find me tinkering away in my studio a lot of the time. I am also an experienced printmaker and specialise in etching. It's a very interesting process if you want to know more about it.

Having creative outlets and hobbies is super important to me. I am a very keen knitter and sewer. I'm particularly interested in zero waste sewing and upcycling clothes. I'm anti fast-fashion and going on 10 years having only bought second-hand clothes.

I’m quite easygoing and enjoy cooking and sharing meals, good conversation and learning about people from different walks of life. I love yoga (my mum is a yoga instructor). I’m also happy with quiet time, reading, journalling or working on little creative projects.

Mostly I’m interested in meeting kind, open-minded people, learning new skills, and experiencing different ways of living while contributing in a positive way.
