Dr Bo Jeffares Sekine

CHAIR

Bo's background links art and literature. Previous cultural experience includes working in universities in Ireland, Scotland and Japan.

Bo is inspired by nature. Her international exhibitions evoke positive elements from our environment such as warm sunlight and clear water; positive symbols.

Books include her early best seller "Landscape Painting", and her holistic "CREATIVITY: Nature and Us. Exploring Green Themes through the Arts".

Bo has loved trees, plants and gardening since childhood days in Australia. She has created a nature reserve, and has a vision for an Educational Tree Centre, to encourage children and young people to love and care for trees. Scientifically valuable, aesthetically pleasing and emotionally healing - trees are essential for both our own survival and for evolving earth care.

He has always had a desire to be involved with charitable work and has assisted organisations nationally and internationally including Clic Sargent and Medcare as well as maintaining his position as a Trustee of The Zennor Trust in Newlyn.

He has always had a love of traveling and spending time in nature. This time has allowed his respect and appreciation for the importance of the planet’s trees to grow.
