Thank you APP!

My exhibition has started today. My path of recovery expressed through emotional painting.

I could not have done it without my support network & APP.

FALLEN SKITTLES

I am raising awareness for everybody!

I want to be a voice through my art and support the once

who like me, have suffered from Post-Partum Psychosis.

I want to highlight that there have been individuals who did not receive

sufficient help or have been locked up in a psychiatric

hospital, and I am doing this for those women in despair, the ones who are still struggling

the ones, who did not come out or sadly did not survive…

Finally I am becoming brave. Wanting to raise awareness of mental health issues and specifically being informative about my struggles. Terribly excited, but also scared-but there is this urgency of wanting to be useful-can you see, stuff wants to come out…the lid has opened…

Health and Happiness!

Dear Sabine

I'm so glad that you've got to the starting point of your exhibition and I hope that you have a fantastic response to your beautiful pieces of artwork.

You are being so brave in expressing yourself in this way and putting yourself 'out there'. I do wish I could have come to see your exhibition but it is just too far from where I live.

Enjoy this day, and be sure to look after yourself this week, and build in some 'quiet times' for you,

The very best of luck for the next 2 weeks Sabine, you're a star.

Best wishes

Val
