OUR UNTOLD STORIES – Art Beyond Belief

1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem throughout their lifetime. But nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Stigma, discrimination and neglect prevent care and treatment from reaching people with mental disorders. - David Sparrow, Creative Lead at Art Beyond Belief

The magic of life is gone after bereavement, everything stops, even things that should be a go (positive, fun, enjoyable things) are just a stop, like everything else; pointless, mundane, boring, routine. - Dan Bross

I saw this painting at the Courtauld Gallery in London. It is by Gabriele Munter and called 'Portrait of Young Woman in a Large Hat'. I was taken by the woman's self-confidence, enhanced by her knowing smile and intense gaze. I just wanted to make many of those. - Ashley Jewel

The chair and shadow is like all the mess and turmoil and anger, negativity, depression and stuff all inside and it’s all a depressed person is, or all they are left with after crisis. The strips of duct tape, barely keeping the door closed, are the supposed crutches or things that should help, but don’t really. - Dan Bross
