I Am An Artist Podcast

The I Am An Artst podcast discusses the outcomes from Inspire’s community arts project; I Am An Artist. During the series, Annie Warren talks to an artist or artists from the project, and also members of the Inspire team, in a bid to share valuable insights and learning gained from the project.

In Episode 1 of I Am An Artist, host Annie Warren is in conversation with Rachel Hayes – an artist on the project. 

Rachel Hayes is a passionate and self-taught artist whose work is deeply influenced by the natural beauty of the local countryside. Her approach to art is vibrant and intuitive, with a focus on colourful collages, acrylic paintings, and mixed media pieces. 

For I Am An Artist, as well as delivering workshops for adults and children in libraries, Rachel was commissioned to work with the Oasis Community Centre in Worksop - a place where people can meet and feel welcomed, valued and supported – to co-create new pieces of artwork with a mixed adult group.
