Artist: Aimee Rowland is a visual artist dedicated to exploring and promoting mental well-being through her art. Having struggled with anxiety and depression for as long as she can remember, Aimee channels her personal experiences into her creative process. After completing her honours research on the way Mental Illness is Placed and Represented in Specific Art Practices, she recognised the urgent need to raise awareness about mental health. Her work aims to create a sanctuary for those in need, normalising vulnerability, blending art with empathy. The pieces displayed at Blue Tree Gallery reflect this commitment, offering a space where visitors can find solace and connection through the power of visual expression. By sharing her journey, Aimee hopes to foster understanding and support for those facing similar challenges, because no one should have to face their struggles alone.
