Art for Wellbeing

Graduating from Aberystwyth University with a BA(Hons) Fine Art, I began to explore my arts practice and try to get my art out into the world. I was lucky enough to build a small studio in my garden. This enabled me to focus on my arts practice.

After a couple of years I decided I wanted to explore something new. Over the years I have struggled with my own mental health, with anxiety and grief. I always found that having a space to be creative and engage with the arts to positively impact my mental health and wellbeing, Therefore, I chose to enrol onto a postgraduate masters exploring arts, health and wellbeing. Promoting positive changes in health and wellbeing through the arts.

Here you can read about my current projects as I progress in my studies. You can also read my blog on Substack at emilymiles02.substack.com‍ ‍
