Please note this episode was recorded over Zoom in January 2021

In this episode I talk to visual artist Mandy Rogers. Mandy initially trained as a painter before going on to train in art therapy and art education.

For over thirty years she has worked as an art psychotherapist, and as a community artist. Her own art work always continued to run parallel to these other practices, and sits somewhere between drawing and installation.She sees art psychotherapy as a collaborative creative process, exploring the unsayable and allowing new insights and meanings to unfold.

Having developed long COVID after a severe onset she says she has become acutely aware of the calming and restorative power of being in the natural world. Mandy is a deep and sensitive person and I loved hearing about her experiences of Wild Wander and learning more about her work.
