Lois’s art collaborations bring a diverse range of people together. With creative activity, we can share our experiences and stories, breakdown boundaries and gain a greater understanding of each other.
Lois was a co- founder, co-director and the lead artist of the socially engaged art organisation arthur+martha. Community Interest Company 2006- 2022
Art allows us to frame experience in a new way, to understand, share and to more on. It distracts from distress, bringing release.
