About The Artist

I’m Vicky, an artist based in Essex with a natural passion for creativity. From an younger age, I’ve always had a creative streak, which led me to work as a professional makeup artist for several years. This experience allowed me to explore my artistic talents in a different medium, but I eventually felt a calling to express my creativity on paper and canvas. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to be commissioned by wonderful clients, including a few 'pinch me' moments when I've also created pieces for some familiar faces that grace our televisions. 

As a deeply spiritual and empathetic person, who has also lived with a clinical OCD diagnosis since eleven years old -  I have faced many of my own personal battles and embarked on some difficult journeys of self-awareness and healing. These experiences have shaped my journey and fueled my desire to help others find healing through creativity. This led to the birth of my therapeutic art workshops. Now a qualified Mental Health First Aider and Creative Wellness Coach, I bring a deeper understanding of emotional wellbeing into everything I do, including my art. My training enables me to recognise signs of mental distress in others and offer initial support, guidance in finding suitable further professional support and management techniques. Merging this with suitable art activities, i create space within my therapeutic art workshops for mindful relaxation, emotional expression, anxiety relief, and gentle acknowledgement of trauma or past experiences. Through creativity, participants are invited to explore their inner world at their own pace, in a setting that prioritises safety, compassion, and self-discovery. I believe in the transformative power of art and the healing it can provide. It is my mission to guide others in their journey toward mindfulness and emotional well-being through creative expression.

And if this particular 1-1 'therapeutic' style of workshop doesn’t feel like the right fit for you, I also offer a whole range of other art based workshops including fun adult 'Paint & Sip' sessions, mindful workshops integrating meditation and creating, children's art & craft clubs, connection and creation sessions for older adults, seasonal themed workshops and much more.
