ABOUT | eleanor-glover

I am an artist/maker based in Bristol, a member of Centrespace Cooperative. My passion is to create new ways of expressing personal narrative; casting my own stories through mixed media sculpture, shadow theatre, and book arts, and working therapeutically with adults and children to help them communicate and acknowledge theirs. I am an arts mentor for the Koestler charity.
