Tammie is a South African multidisciplinary artist, facilitator, and performer who creates engaging spaces where art becomes both an expressive tool and a shared experience. Her work blends visual art, music and movement, storytelling and cultural dialogue, drawing on humour and lived experience to bring depth and energy into each session.

She sees creativity not as a fixed skill, but as a way of living: one rooted in curiosity and everyday expression through our senses, from what we see and hear to how we move, feel, and experience the world around us.

Alongside her practice, Tammie has extensive experience as an educator and mentor across schools, community settings, and charity organisations. She has delivered international programmes and developed inclusive workshops for diverse groups, including SEN and neurodivergent learners. Her approach prioritises adaptability, empathy, and emotional safety, encouraging exploration and challenging the belief that people are “not creative.” Through one-to-one tuition and group mentorship, she supports participants in building confidence, agency, and a lasting connection to creative expression.
