‘Of all the local community efforts I have participated in, pressing clay tiles in 2020, 2021 and 2022 for the mosaic roundels at Thornton Heath and Selhurst railway stations and entrance to Kindred House has been the most enjoyable.  Each artwork helped bring together members of local neighbourhoods comprising diverse ethnicities and age ranges. Whilst we used old jewellery and a clutch of every day kitchen and office drawer essentials to create designs, none of us imagined that nondescript beige clay tiles could be transformed into beautiful works of art in stunning colours. They stand testimony to shared local community endeavours and new friendships forged as a result.’

‘It was a pleasure to work with Maud on the creation of a work of public art for Archway, Islington. Community and democratised art are central to her artistic worldview. Maud was extremely collaborative and hard working. We worked together on ideas, focussed on solutions when things needed development, and when designs were finalised, I trusted her and her team completely to deliver results, all which exceeded expectations. Years of experience have made Maud a trusted professional. There were so few times I felt I needed to check the progress because she regularly informed me. What’s more, I knew the work was in the safest pair of hands.’
