| The journey of development our children take |
Artist Statement
"The commission came quite unexpectedly during my degree whilst researching for a project. During conversations with the head Mistress, the overall tone was that of nurture. I considered the result of careful nurture, that of strength, confidence, intelligence. The tree of knowledge to me demonstrates the development of their education when carefully nurtured. The foundations or roots being the start of their learning lives and as the children develop, so too the tree grows. The tree's surface holds many paths of development but all evolving, all finding their own way. As the branches form, we see how children find their own interests and skills and so they evolve towards them. As the new leaves form, we see the beginning of their 'soon to be' first steps into a new school where their education will evolve with more independence ".

Testimonial
"Angie was engaged with Liscard Primary School to undertake an art commission to be displayed in the newly refurbished school entrance. The brief was to produce a piece of artwork in liaison with various members of the school which represented the journey of development our children take.
She is an energetic person who responds when faced with a challenge and openly embraced collaboration. She is a divergent thinker with a creative approach when problem solving. These skills enabled her to grasp and exploit the constantly developing nature of the project whilst working with both children and adults.
Angie demonstrated her ability to work with a wide range of individuals, ranging from Foundation One pupils to teachers and other representatives from within and outside the school community. All of whom enjoyed participating the tasks Angie provided.
Angie showed a good Level of commitment during the process and execution of the project. She has a natural ability to relate to people from all areas of life which in turn enhanced the project being undertaken. It is true to say that enthusiasm and energy are her true strengths. Her commitment is infectious and she is a true people person who enjoys sharing her creative process.
The commission was completed in November 2009 and now has pride of place in our reception area which is the first port of call for all visitors to school." Headteacher, Liscard Primary.
