Description

Doodle McZenguin is the artist’s representation of their journey with creativity and its positive influence on their mental health.

Creative doodling can be a great method of mindfulness and one that has had a great impact on many.

The mixture of colourful and black and white sections depicts that some days are bright and joyful, yet other days can be less so.

The gold outlines of the section are inspired by the Japanese method Kintsugi which teaches us about accepting fragility, building strength and resilience, and taking pride in the imperfect.

Inner Knowings

Inner Knowings is an emerging local artist whose creativity has long been a great support to her mental health.

Her love for the St Richard’s Hospice trails started with the very first one which was integral to breaking through a particularly devastating patch in her mental health journey. The joy and colour that Worcester Stands Tall brought to the city was incredibly inspiring in so many wonderful ways.

In more recent times Inner Knowings has put her creativity into developing community groups, and community projects including The Big Worcester Doodle – highlighting the benefits of basic creative methods for increasing mindfulness and improving mental health.
