I have just found out that my application for a large grant from the Arts Council Developing Your Creative Practice fund has been successful! This will enable me to put lots of time and resources this next year into creating some work around my experience of postnatal psychosis. The project is titled ‘The wounded oyster turns grit into pearl: Processing Trauma through Painting’ and is something I have wanted to do for a while, so I’m looking forward to getting started! As well doing lots of painting I will be mentored through the Turps Correspondence Course programme and am looking to make some local artistic connections through various studio Crit groups – see links. I am super excited! 😄
