Studying at The Valley School helped me establish a strong connection with the natural world. An awareness was instilled in us, making us sensitive to its assorted inhabitants and the overall importance of diversity. The art I make, and the very need to create, was encouraged and nourished at The Valley School. Teachers who understood what we held as important, inspired us in our journeys. I am eternally thankful and grateful—for the confidence and trust our young minds and hearts were exposed to.

My multimedia series ‘The Logue’ is a homage to the natural world. The Valley played a huge part in shaping my thinking.
