I have worked with Mindy for the last 2 years on the Love Arts festival. Mindy first got involved with the festival as one of our volunteers in 2011, she developed lots of great networks that enabled her to come back and be involved in the 2012 festival by running her own exhibition. Mindy has also taken photographs for various events that we have organised, the photographs are sharp, creative and very interesting to look at. She captures the essence of the event in an exciting way which leaves you intriguied and wanting to know more from looking at the photographs. I look forward to working together in the future.
