Organiser of HeArtivists- Mother Daughter Art Workshop
Mandi Lynn is New Zealand's Creative Photographer of the Year 2017, and director of the Body Compassion documentary Finding Venus. But she didn't start photographing until her son was 8 years old and she was self-taught then (was a single mum and couldn't afford the time or money to go to school to learn). She believes that it is never too late to learn to adult better and to heal your creative wounds. (Mandi was born creative but the family with the best of intentions encouraged her to do much more responsible and respectable things (like join the military and be a nurse)...so it took a while for the artist she was meant to be to mature and come to the surface).
This workshop series was designed by Mandi to support parents of young creatives (she is also the mother to a professional dancer, a musician, and an entrepreneur).
