Creative self expression as a tool for recovery and self care

My name is illusive. I am a multimedia artist based in Ottawa, Ontario creating unique artworks inspired by mental illness, recovery, and wellbeing. My pieces help further my self understanding and wellbeing and are intended to be emotional artworks that connect with those who may have experienced similar struggles.

I hope to encourage others to be patient with their mental health in these times and get creative. At the same time I hope to do my best to help destigmatize mental illness and the concept of making mental health care an accessible part of everyone’s normal routine.

Mindfulness Painting Workshops

*more dates coming soon*

Workshops integrate meditative and creative techniques to help participants create fun, unique artworks while actively working through common creative blocks such as perfectionism or comparison. The goal is to create something special in a supportive and guided environment, so participants can leave feeling more confident and in tune with their creative self.

Do you offer custom work?

I absolutely love creating custom art and working one on one with clients to create a piece that is emotionally driven and unique to them. My process involves getting to know the ideas, stories, emotions, or inspirations a client wishes to illustrate and building on them.

I'm so in love with the painting! I teared up when I saw what you wrote on the back :) I can't wait to give it to him. Thank you again for such an amazing piece!

I just wanted to tell you how much I love the sweatshirt!

 Thank you ever so much for the quick delivery.

I have passed your name on to a few folks and this weekend I am wearing it out so there will be some instagrams posts with a mention I am sure.

I’ve bought several items from this shop and the creator is absolutely lovely! The picture turned out amazing and I immediately framed it on my wall. 10/10 would recommend

Suzanna, custom pen and ink drawing

I floated this in a cool copper frame and gave it as a gift to a friend....she loves it! Canvas was packaged securely and shipping was quick.
