The Before
Recently I was invited to work alongside multimedia artist Phillipa Tomlin for the "Kelpies turns 10" celebration. THIS WAS A TOTAL BLAST! Phil and I worked in tandem using our skills to create 2 large placards featuring the iconic Kelpies.

The After
The following day we interacted with dozens of people including all ages of children and adults. Everybody had a story to tell about the Kelpies and we invited them to immortalize those memories on wood.
