Description

:: Currently available and travelling around Yucutan in Mexico :::

I am a self-employed Artist, Painter, Organic Gardener & Renovator who spent an enjoyable 3 & half years after Uni as a youth worker / creative arts & music teacher for disadvantaged young people with the SEND Project, whilst helping to manage a smallholding farm / allotment with friends.

I have several years of experience of organic gardening and allotment work & I've studying a little into Permaculture and Biodynamic planting and would love to learn more in any practical situation and get involved on more projects.

The most recent project I've been working on is the renovation and painting & decorating of a "Grade 1 listed" building which used to be a Church Chapel - currently being turned into a vegan cafe & music venue.

Over the years of both volunteering and working in different sectors I have acquired a wide variety of skill sets, from leading art and design projects, team-working on organic gardens, hosting and waitering in Hotels, to dealing with conflict resolution in hospitality environments.

Whilst working for the SEND Project I was teaching art & design as well as Photoshop & Illustrator to young people in Nottingham for arts projects & helped producing posters for events as well as filming & editing videos to showcase students work.

Being quite fascinated by geometric patterns in nature, which I love to use in my artwork, I am also learning more about sacred geometry and the construction of Geodesic Domes and how they could be very effective housing construction on earthquake fault lines given that the structures are earthquake proof. Implementing this on a project would be great!
I'm quite a practical person and love getting stuck in, whether it be help in the home with cleaning, cooking, homework / helping learn language or arts & music, building, gardening/farming, metalwork fabrication, general DIY.

I have some different language skills but am always keen to learn more with hosts, as well as help out where it is needed.

Autres infos...

Tibetan buddhism has been my self study for several years as I'm very much interested in learning more and understanding the nature of mind and nature of the universe from a buddhist perspective.

I'm also a big lover of music and am working on some music production project collaborations with some friends using Ableton live, as well as working with the Good Vibrations charity learning Gamelan.
