How nature has inspired my work

In celebration featured in Arts & Minds magazine based in Leeds thank you to my dear friend Ruth De Lissandri for inviting me to talk about being inspired by nature in lockdown and setting up Creative Wellness Journey as an online resource to help and support others.


Here are the excerpt pages from the magazine and to feature my painting on the front cover fills me with pride and makes me feel humbled.




In tribute to the Arts & Minds Network who bring together people in Leeds who believe the arts can promote mental well-being.

They support and are open to anyone who in Leeds wants to see the growth of arts and health – including mental health service users, carers, mental health workers, artists, arts organisations and NHS or third sector organisations.


Please check the website for further details on their amazing services available.


“If anyone is thinking of being creative I would say DO IT, have a go. Its amazing what you can do if you try, it heals the mind.”
