Mandy Wax
Artist
I am working on individual and collaborative projects and will be exhibiting work with Memento Collective in September 2022. Please take a look at my instagram feed (link in bottom right of page) as this is a constantly growing gallery of my experiments and thoughts.
Arts Facilitation
I help people to flourish, especially if they feel blocked or lack confidence. I can support and enable them to find their voice and story in a safe space, using creativity. By accessing art to understand emotions and working with play, narratives and discussion, I facilitate curiosity and openness. I am particularly interested in working with underrepresented groups, LGBTQIA+, refugees and people with mental health challenges.
