Illustrator, creative facilitator and mural artist
Ysgol Bryn Alyn in Wrexham contacted me in 2022 to conduct a workshop and paint a mural in their entrance hall. The workshops were with Year 6 students with additional needs who were joining the school the following September. For a lot of these children, they struggled with anxiety surrounding the transition of primary school to secondary school so the staff wanted to explore how they could ease the process and get them excited for the years to come.
I produced several leaf shapes and colours and the Year 6’s could write, draw or collage any response to the theme of “How will I grow” on their own leaf. They then helped me create the tree, with the schools values and mission statements on each branch, before adding their own leaf to the school tree which connects and supports them all.
