Picture
  • I worked in arts for health for over 20 years and was part of a team of artists at the original Start in Manchester, an award winning NHS Arts centre, providing therapeutic art activities for people living with severe mental health problems, enabling individuals to use the confidence and skills gained through exploration of art and other creative activities to improve their wellbeing in everyday life.
  • As part of this role I created and exhibited work alongside Start participants' work in many different settings.
  • The picture above shows the 5 Mixed Media wall pieces that were created by myself and four Start participants as part of HELD, a multimedia Exhibition commissioned by Manchester Art Gallery in 2009, which went on to tour several Galleries in the North West of England.
