About
Hi there, my name is Shelley and I live and work in beautiful Rye, East Sussex. My two big passions – art and books - are reflected in my chosen career paths. I have worked in museums and galleries nationwide, lectured in Arts Management and Cultural Policy and taught English at secondary level as well as KS2 (7-11yrs) at primary. I now work as a creative practitioner and mixed media artist.
When working with art in a public setting the conversation of subjectivity came up a lot. What I’ve taken away from these interactions is that we do all see things differently and that’s a good thing. We all interpret the world in relation to our histories and our present. This is one of the many reasons I love art and literature – we all consume the same ‘thing’ - whether that’s an artwork or a novel – but we all experience them differently. Ways of Seeing is all about exploring and celebrating different responses to art and literature through a range of innovative and creative workshops, challenges and events.
Please do get in touch if you have any questions about the creative workshops listed or if you are interested in developing a bespoke workshop for your event or group: info@waysofseeing.art. More information on my personal artistic practice can be found here.
