Connecting Communities Through Creative Expression

Where did this begin?
Every project has an origin.
Colour the World Better began when I realised how often art becomes proof of humanity, resilience, culture, joy and identity. From childhood conservation work to community spaces and global classrooms, this is where my journey started…
and where this platform begins.

Koforidua, Ghana.
My journey started gifting art to a newly built primary school in rural Ghana. After a wonderful call with Neil Kerfoot, the CEO of Village by Village, I began creating a custom canvas for the children's new school.
I listened to the feedback from the students and realised how different cultures and communities around the world had such varied exposures and perspectives on art.
In a new effort to engage with the wider art scene around the world I started collecting strangers perspectives on the meaning of art itself.

Initiative Launch.
After much research and a long lasting impression from the children's responses in Koforidua, I launched CTWB on Instagram as a global art initiative. I opened with my first international community project that gained responses from over 26+ countries.

Abu Shiha School,
Gaza.
I was delighted to secure my first education partnership running an Art for Writing exchange with the Abu Shiha School in Gaza. Truly honoured to work with TK, Yasmine and the resilient students of Abu Shiha to run this.
