I’m Elaine Maughan, the least creative director of Happy Planet Creative Arts. I escaped my corporate IT career in 2014 to follow my dreams, and met Gail at a local networking event shortly afterwards. We bonded over a shared love of the arts and a desire to bring our community together to create an ethical, inclusive, safe space for people to explore their creativity and manage their mental wellbeing in a relaxed and fun environment. I live in Whitley Bay where I work for a homelessness charity and run my holistic coaching and therapy practice Elemental Changes.
