Additional to my work as a professional artist (see below), I returned to study in 2022 to undertake and complete Education Support (Certificate IV) at Federation TAFE and have, since 2023, been working in a full-time Learning Assistant/ Inclusive Education role at Preshil School's Secondary Campus, Blackhall-Kalimna, providing in-class support to middle school students. Beyond my classroom and excursion support responsibilities, I have also been responsible for facilitating the campus after-school Homework Club as well as designing and delivering creative Elective offerings across both the secondary and the primary campuses. I offer a genuine interest in supporting kids to achieve their absolute best, am truly passionate about creative, inclusive education models as a way to support and encourage confident, creative, kind, caring, and capable young learners and I believe deeply in collaborative and progressive education environments that recognise the valuable contributions of a varied and interdisciplinary staff and school community.+My work as an artist & maker sees me unfolding the traditions of couture garment-making and working at the human-environment nexus to create works strangely familiar yet uncompromisingly unique.With an integral philosophy rooted deep in the practice of true craftsmanship, my explorations of material, body, environment and nature span the realms of art and design.From late 2016 my focus has increasingly moved toward an art-based practice, through both solo and collaborative sculptural, installation-based, performance, still and moving-image works.*to see my work and for all contact in relation to my artistic practice, please visit- http://www.anastasialafey.com/+I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands and waters, on which I live and work, and pay respects to all First Nations Ancestors and Elders, past, present and emerging+I am also committed to being part of a growing worldwide climate-positive workforce, offsetting my carbon footprint and funding reforestation and climate change mitigation projects via ECOLOGI - https://ecologi.com/anastasialafeyartistimakeridesigner
