Ann Diment
I made this mixed media collage (watercolor, ink and photographs) during the first lockdown as a sketchbook piece as part of my summer show work for a project called ‘ Be Kind to Your Mind’. Themes included are the constant self-critical voices in my head and how our limiting beliefs are formed. The stigma around mental health is also explored and how the arts can tackle this . I would like to discuss the benefits of arts as a Social Prescribing tool and sharehow they have helpd me on my own PTSD recovery journey from being unable to take my kids to school to now commissioning and promoting Arts and nature-based social prescribing activities. The Collage also has an audio collage based on a poem called Lockdown voices’ written at a mental health creative writing group. See https://youtu.be/8ObTrVNMix8
Tanya Momi
As a child, Tanya knew she wanted to be an artist. She formally trained and earned a Fine Arts Bachelors degree in Chandigarh, India. After graduation she moved to California and made it her permanent home.
Her work falls into several categories: Realism, Cubism, Abstract, Sikhism and Social Realism. Recently Tanya has focussed her efforts into an abstract spiritual series. She experiments with new forms and ways to express inner beauty and strength.
Tanya’s paintings reveal to the greater extent the sufferings of the people around the world in different ways. Her latest painting depicts the 1947 India’s partition and the suffering involved with the displacement of people.
Tanya has shown her paintings internationally: Toronto, London, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Copenhagen and Singapore. She has exhibited her work in over 45 solo and over 30 group shows. The painting, Whisper, is presently displayed at the Triton Museum of Art.
