October 10th was World Mental Health day. I spend much of my time supporting others with mental health problems using art. creating something that sometimes when they don’t want to speak, can work on a subconscious level to help settle and work through feeling and emotions. Looking after my own health and wellbeing is an important part to help facilitate this. October saw me take one of my sons on a trip to the South of France, specifically he wanted to visit Monaco..a day I will remember, the extremes of materialism, like I’ve never seen before…a pic from our bus tour overlooking Monaco harbour..lots of inspiration for my own work, and reflection on peoples aspirations, the divide between the very rich and the people I support who are at the other end of the financial spectrum..
