one of my biggest joys is helping other people explore their creativity, through facilitating creative workshops + mentoring.
I have over a decade’s worth of experience in leading + supporting a variety workshops for children, young people + adults across both art + music. past workshops have included songwriting, abstract collage, sketchbook making, mosaics, textiles and ceramics.
I’ve also really enjoyed mentoring musicians / producers + university students through collaborative projects, giving creative direction, guidance + feedback through regular check-ins.
whatever the medium, my approach is always intuitive with a big emphasis on play + experimentation (rather than rules or right/wrong!)
as a queer, neurodivergent artist, I’m especially passionate about increasing accessibility in the arts + facilitating safe, inclusive spaces for everyone to explore their creativity. I have a DBS check and have completed training in Trauma Informed Practice and Child Protection.

testimonials
“Nyree is incredibly intuitive, perceptive and personable whilst always being a total professional.
She is a natural facilitator and has a real ability to nurture talent, build confidence in individuals and offer support and guidance where necessary.”
- Aisling Kiely (Creative Producer)
“In our groups we also have some adults with learning differences, and we were so impressed with Nyree’s approach. She was patient and understanding and quite quickly put everyone at ease.
She worked alongside those that struggled and encouraged and supported them in such a gentle way, it was a pleasure to watch.
She is a strong and effective communicator, as well as being a very talented and knowledgeable artist who is multi-faceted in her skill base!”
