EXCITING NEW PROJECT

INISIDE OUT: portraits of emotional resilience

Andy was commissioned to work with a group of people from across the Black and South Asian communities at the University of Nottingham (UoN). He explored their experiences of mental health and emotional wellbeing. The paintings reflect the feelings and stories they described in conversations with Andy.

The project was a collaboration between UoN, NCVS and The ICCA (The Indian Community Centre Association). It is part of an NHS and NCVS drive to raise awareness of mental health in the Nottingham BAME community, and better promote access to NHS Talking Therapies.

"The pathway" Now 40x32inch Scary moment cutting off a third of this painting, but I think it works better in portrait. Not finished yet but I'm feeling more positive about the direction. This piece is part of my "Solace" series, which started back in 2018. A slightly different take on the idea explored in earlier paintings The mountain is the beautiful Ama Dablam, in the Himalayas #path #pathway #journey #amadablam #himalaya #wipart #mountainpainting #solace #summit #thebeautifulworld #himalayas #mountainart #powerofnature #mountainscape #andyfarrart #solice
