'The mixture of input and activity worked very well and I know that participants found it a good learning experience and were impressed by your professionalism.' RC Home
Peronel Barnes is motivated by the interest in and desire to see communication working effectively - between colleagues, with clients, in companies and with children. Recognising the different skills and methods of conversation that can be had from a response to the news, a reaction to the view from the window or a reply to a question, Peronel respects the various ways we choose to converse, and delights in offering and demonstrating the widest variety of ways to “talk”.
Her conversations take place across a wide platform of people and places - from displaying product ranges for retail sales, encouraging home owners to express their character in the way they decorate their rooms to discussing marketing activities for company visibility and using paint as an activity for corporate fun and communication.
At the heart of Peronel is an artist. She spends as much time as she can out walking in the countryside or by the sea, watching the light, how it changes, moves and alters her surroundings “My painting is about creation, nature, the world. The appreciation of space, light and landscape. For me, nature is the work and glory of the creator. That is what I wish to portray”.
Art2motivate is an extension of Peronel’s painting and a vehicle for expression. The resulting conversations straddle boundaries within groups or organisations. Her experience in the commercial, retail and business sector and in training helps her ability to facilitate openness in conversation and the freedom to explore an art-based expression.
