Hi, I’m Becky, born in Shropshire, I moved to Much Wenlock 13 years ago and have loved being part of this community since. I’ve been in education for the past 18 years, starting my career over in Ludlow as a mainstream Art & Design teacher before a brief stint working in an Art department in the UAE. I then returned to Shropshire to teach art at secondary schools in Newport, Shifnal and for the past 6 years as an Art teacher at a secondary special provision school in Telford. It been great to work in such a variety of schools over my career providing me with so much experience of students and their needs. In recent years, I’ve missed the opportunity to be creative myself and this is part of the reason for starting this business. For me, creativity is my opportunity to relax and get away from it all and allows me to express myself. Being able to share this with others is a privilege. My favourite style to work in is line; whether that be a fine liner, biro or through lino printing and etching. In recent years I’ve really enjoyed spending time with watercolours and creating more mixed media style work. I’ve completed numerous commissions for people, including portraits of family members and pets as well as murals in homes and schools. I also love taking photographs, particularly of the details of nature and the beautiful landscapes of the world. We all know how important wellbeing is to our health and at Meraki we have created a space for you to join us to share some creative time, express yourself and relax. We can’t wait to share this with you all!
