In the words of William James...
"I am done with great things and big things, great institutions and big success, and I am for those tiny invisible molecular moral forces that work from individual to individual, creeping through the crannies of the world like so many rootlets, or like the capillary oozing of water, yet which if you give them time, will rend the hardest monuments of man's pride".

Introduction
Vicky has eleven years experience working as a freelance creative educator on numerous short and long term projects with a wide diversity of people in a variety of contexts and settings [including schools, colleges, youth and community centres, libraries and galleries].
Her work over this time has encompassed facilitation, coordination, management and practitioner roles. She is passionate about the use of creativity in educational, vocational and personal development, particularly in relation to young people. She is also a multimedia artist and writer.
Vicky has bags of enthusiasm and drive for creativity and is foolish enough to belief creative thinking, activity and production can change the world.
Oh and she likes speaking in the third person.
