Marcus

I am a twenty four year old graduate of Central Saint Martins with a BA in Fine Art. I am also currently a full time artist and the workshop leader of Boys Dont Cry UK, an art collective based in London raising awareness around mental health.

Availability: Monday to Friday 10 - 6.

Willing to travel: 1 miles

Experience: After leaving school, I joined Voluntary Service Overseas in Zanzibar, Tanzania as a Youth Unemployment Officer. In this role, I worked with children and young adults in schools and small businesses on a daily basis, teaching them the necessary writing and professional development skills to gain employment. Since studying at Central Saint Martins I have also founded Boys Dont Cry UK, a London based art collective raising awareness around mental health, and the first of its kind in this country. I have directed this project for over three years and am proud to have led numerous educational workshops with artists of all ages around the city. In doing this job I have gained invaluable experience in working with a diverse range of people in a personal and professional setting, as well as being able to effectively plan and execute a range of ambitious public projects with large institutions. Aside from running this, I am also a full time artist. I am now in a position where I would like to pass on the academic and professional skills I have, and work with those younger than me to help achieve their goals.
