ART THERAPY
I've used art therapy and have taught various forms of art for over 30 years. Art has saved me over and over again. Read about the kinds of art I use for my health and have a look at the chronically ill artists that I feature here on My Several Worlds. I feature regular interviews with global artists around the world. Welcome to My Several Worlds.
Interview With Crafting A Path Through Illness – Germaine Hypher
As May 12 approaches — recognized internationally as Fibromyalgia and MECFS Awareness Day — I share conversations with chronically ill artists, writers, and creators whose work exists at the intersection of illness, identity, survival, and creativity. Over the years through My Several Worlds, I’ve interviewed dozens of chronically ill artists and authors whose work reflects not only pain and limitation, but adaptation, resilience, vulnerability, and truth. Today, I’m honoured to introduce Germaine Hypher, the author and artist behind Crafting A Path Through Illness.
