I use mixed media collage to paste together conceptual montages.

I am a psychologist /creative arts therapist working with narrative art therapy. I believe strongly in the power of writing, art and story to heal. I use art to process both my own vicarious trauma and give voice to the trauma of others. The juxtaposition of trauma with the indifference of the ordinary, the everyday highlights what is mostly unseen and unspoken. Mixed media collage – paper, pen, watercolour pencils, acrylic paint, fabric, recycled objects, on canvas.
