Cooper
Drawing gives me a focus when my mind is difficult to wrangle. I get great satisfaction from drawing and creating something beautiful using simple tools. Art and creative crafts give me a sense of purpose for a short while and I feel proud of myself when I see something through to completion. When I am struggling with my mental health, even small achievements feel like huge victories! I like to challenge myself, using different techniques and media, most recently soft pastels. I try to draw different subjects, including portraits and animals, but I also like more expressive, abstract pieces. Here, I have drawn my late dog, Cooper. He was so special to me and the memories of him make me so, so happy.
