Lucy Clarke

Ambitious arts graduate with experience working for Educational Publishers, Universities, Galleries & Charity Retailers

I have a broad range of interests from publications and print media to blogging and online resources. I am passionate about the environment and cycle nearly everywhere. I am interested in life skills and education and how education can be enhanced through creative life skills such as music, art, craft, cookery and gardening. I am an amateur Yoga practitioner and runner, I enjoy live music (who doesn't) and this year have stewarded at three festivals, Love Saves The Day, WOMAD and Shambala Festival, where I saw some world class live music and entertainment and at the same time helped raise over £15,000 for Oxfam's charitable causes through volunteer stewarding. I took part in the Show 2008 for my degree exhibition at Spike Island, Bristol and also made a sculpture for Elephant Parade 2010 which was on public display for over three months in Brixton, Windrush Square! I am published artists in Elephant Parade Art Book London 2010, ISBN 978-94-90725-01-3.
