Together Jacquie Coupé and Cate Geard ran Artsparks - collaborative, community art making workshops from 2013 - 2020, events such as whole school art days to art spaces at community festivals, to art skill- specialised workshops.

Our combined strength during this time was our mutual love to see the SPARK of creativity ignite in the individual and the collective. 

Our jobs of creative art / language school teachers offered us opportunity to hone and muster all our combined skills in conceptualising and delivering on creative ideas, organisation, and communication. Artsparks collaboration gave us the opportunity to seek out projects that inspired us, that created joy and upliftment for all, that created pathways to freedom of expression by playing, exploring and experimenting.

Artsparks was born also from our mutual love and respect of Nature. As we observed and interacted with Nature, Artsparks was continually inspired by Nature’s inherent role in life as unadulterated art - beauty. Nature is a portal to the present, inviting us to connect within for self-expression that can heal and realise pure potential.

Our own art practices informed our approach to Artsparks.
We loved and responded well to working with all age groups and abilities. 
So much art goodness to celebrate! Cate is forever grateful for this creative collaborative work with Jacquie.
