Sculptor Steve Yeates https://www.steveyeates.co.uk mentored Geraldine giving practical tips on how to sell and present work. She visited his studio for support and guidance. Steve works with recycled and reclaimed materials. He makes discarded and broken things beautiful. I love his glass figures created from vandalised bus shelters.

Political poet Louca Kousoulou is campaigning to change broken lives by creating a petition to lobby government to mentor our youth https://trueheartsunite.co.uk #no knives. He says “They are our future and this alternative education and mentoring is key to improving society and our country’s destiny”. He regularly visits Spitalfields market and gets inspiration from being with fellow creatives and the designer makers. Mentoring is proven to achieve results as Geraldine will testify.
I admire the street artist Skid Robot based in Los Angeles who has raised awareness to homelessness.
Oil on Canvas
The arts are a way to find peace. When I paint it brings me an inner joy. That is a great gift to share and experience. I would encourage everyone to paint, draw, sculpt, dance, create music, write.

My handmade jewellery captures my mind as it twists and turns. Making jewellery keeps me at peace. As I thread the wire each movement calms me and I relax into a new place, weaving a graceful presence in the moment, capturing the essence of now into an everlasting wearable work of art. I don’t not …
