She was commissioned in 2019 to write poetry among eight other Welsh poets for the feminist collaborative arts, 'Dear Christine' touring gallery exhibition, which explored the life of 1960's icon, Christine Keeler, launching the poet works at a live gallery event at London's ARTHOUSE1 and Swansea's Elysium gallery.

She also reads on the Cardiff's Lyrical Miracles and Swansea Live Poets open mics and was invited to read in 2019 at the Poetry Wales Spells & Sanctums evening, reading her poem Sanctuary, among others.

Guinevere's other passion is belly dance, which she has practiced and taught for 20 years. In 2011, she launched The Belly Dancer's Treasure Pack, an illustrated guidance book and empowering card set, which she wrote, co-produced and self published with marketing support from The Bellydance Superstars. Her writing and work on belly dance have been included in Dancing in the UK, Nafoura and Take it Easy magazines, BBC Radio Wales, Radio Pembrokeshire and Radio Ceredigion.
