Kelly’s Projects on Bute
As an arts educator she designs innovative programs and hands on art workshops for children and adults alike, encouraging the use of the arts as an inclusive and cross disciplinary learning tool. As a practising artist her research interests include investigating the relationship between memory, object and place, as well as the stories, recollections and narratives such objects evoke.
With a keen interest in community arts and collaborative projects, she is looking forward to working with the community on Bute.
