Hi, my name is Laura I first joined Centrepieces in 2022 after an admission to a mental health unit for the 4th time! I came out wanting to get well and as I loved art I was told about the charity and thought I’d give it a go!
I had the idea of joining a few years ago but was scared my art was rubbish but 2022 was when I took the leap and it was the best thing I ever did, it’s given me the confidence to develop my art skills and gain confidence to be myself.
I’ve made a lot of friends and love working with different materials especially outdoor sculptures made of stone, I’m more of a hands on artist such as working with clay, stone and thinking out of the box art. I also draw what’s in my head a lot which helps sometimes it’s quite intense but when I draw it clears my bad thoughts!
Hope you enjoy my artwork. Centrepieces charity has changed my life and without them I wouldn’t be here.
