Mandy Wax
Artist
I work on individual and collaborative projects and I am currently working on new projects around the mind body connection and how writing and making art can help and heal.
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.
