Often working in collaboration with artists, Diana has recently created the public art strategy for Swindon’s regeneration (with artist Natalie Woolf), and a creative connectivity and way finding study for developments along the river Tone towards Taunton’s regeneration (with artist Sue Palmer).

Diana is currently working for Museumaker a national programme, supported by ACE, MLA and Renaissance, encouraging contemporary commissioning to animate museum collections.

Although she works across sectors, Diana’s specialism is in local authority and regeneration work. She has an extensive knowledge of local authorities across the country, having worked with over thirty in the last ten years and is an adept and highly successful trainer.

She has worked intensively with Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Architecture practices as well as Local Authorities and Public/Private Regeneration Companies in developing creative concepts and strategies for towns and cities across the UK and for competitions in Europe.

Drawing on her PhD research at the Royal College of Art Natalie is particularly interested in ‘sensitive materials’ - exploring material applications that can express or demonstrate environmental impact in the context of public realm projects. As an artist this work is expressed through painting, drawing, photography and montage, as well as in conceptual thinking and through site specific commissions as both practical applications of appropriate technologies and as individual art works.

It was whilst working at urban design company Urban Initiatives as the resident Artist /Consultant that she began talking with Maggie about ‘Project’ and the role of the artist within Urban Design teams and subsequently helped to develop and research the content for the Event: ‘Fairytale or horror story…Urban designer and artist collaboration: what value do they bring?’ Based on a strong belief in multidisciplinary collaboration, work and discussion with Maggie continues, both in developing opportunities for best practice in the field of Public Arts and in advocating for and applying creative research and thinking across Architecture, Landscape and Urban Design platforms.

Working both within the public and private sectors he has a track record of creative approaches to project development and delivery.

Mark first met Maggie whilst working for Bristol City Council on projects such as Bristol Legible City, and regeneration initiatives linked to the Harbourside area, Temple Quay and Broadmead. Their paths continued to cross during his time at North Somerset where the integration of a creative design approach and public art were central to initiatives aimed at regenerating Weston-super-Mare town centre and seafront.

Following the establishment of Luck Associates in 2007, Mark has worked as a freelance planning associate with Public Art South West focusing on the links between planning policy and public art delivery. In addition, he has continued to directly contribute to a wide range of urban development, public realm and design led projects.
