We are delighted to present Inspired By … an exhibition of work created by participants attending creative art sessions led by artist Louise Jensen supported by the 4 Winds Mental Health Resource over the Winter/Spring 2022.
Louise Jensen:
‘’Prompted by visits to Cardiff National Museum and Cardiff Bay Wetlands we took as our starting point those things that breathe life into us, which fuel and sustain us, and which we hold most dear.
Through exploring ‘Portraiture’, ‘Patterns in Nature’ and the ability to capture ‘This Place’ over 25 participants have been variously involved over the course of eight months in making these pieces, to reflect and encapsulate meaningful connections made. We have explored creative processes including 2d and 3d collage, acrylic painting and mono printing, opening up conversations around wellbeing, creativity and the importance of connection, both in the light of those things that continue to inspire us, and through the stories that we have shared along the way.’’
The project was facilitated by Louise Jensen at the Grange Bowls Pavillion, Grangetown (https://www.facebook.com/louisejensenstiwdioarts) in collaboration with the 4Winds Mental Health Resource (https://4winds.org.uk)
The project was funded through the Celf a’r meddwi I Arts and Minds programme, an Arts Council of Wales / Baring Foundation initiative, and supported through the Arts for Health and Wellbeing Team, Cardiff & Vale Health Charity
