Description
Hi there!
I am looking to volunteer somewhere dynamic and social - I am keen to meet people from all over the world! I love art and I'm studying illustration later this year, so any creative projects are a definite plus. I love nature and the outdoors, as well as places with history - anything that serves as an interesting subject for a drawing or painting! Through workaway I would like to improve my communication skills, as well as gain independence before I move to university.

More details about your skills
My previous workaway - a sustainability project - gave me skills in planting, mulching, animal care (sheep and hens,) concreting, creating mosaics, stacking firewood, weeding and watering, and, of course, getting on well with other workawayers!
Not only do I have painting skills in the artistic sense, but I can also decorate rooms to a fairly high standard - my parents have trusted me with painting most of the house, which has involved removing nails, filling holes, sanding back surfaces, ceiling painting, wall painting and edging, which I have a very steady hand for.
I also have experience in retail and working full time at a garden centre, which has taught me commercial and customer service skills. This has helped me to fit in as part of a team, as well as developed a strong work ethic, as the days were 9.5 hours long.
Finally, I have worked for a local artist since 2021, helping with advertisement on social media, cleaning and maintaining of the studio, and witnessing how a business is run. I started this job as work experience, but due to my dedication I have been working for her for many years now, in-between work and school.
I have always been a hard worker, putting my all into whatever I am working on, as well as working well within a team. I am easy to get along with and love to learn new skills!

What else ...
While painting I enjoy listening to podcasts on history and espionage, especially although not limited to the 20th Century, as I enjoyed the subject a lot at school. I visit museums and galleries regularly, taking my sketchbook along with me. I am also interested in sustainable shopping- I enjoy buying secondhand clothes and up cycling them - adding antique lace, embroidering and altering. I rarely buy new items as I am conscious of their effect on the environment, and I find giving old clothes a new lease of life immensely satisfying. This also extends to interior design, as I have sourced most of the contents of my room from antique stores or charity shops - I enjoy curating spaces and making them my own! I also enjoy reading a wide range of mostly fiction books, and walking my dog in the woods near my house.
