Art by Kylie Brown

So here I am, an artist with an online shop! Commercially trained in Advertising, Graphic and Web Design over 30 years ago in the profession's infancy. 

I went on to study Social and Behavioural Science and then Paramedical Science, serving as a Paramedic for NSW Ambulance for 15 years before medical retirement with PTSD.

Today I work for Fortem Australia, serving our emergency service personnel and their families in mental health and wellbeing through social connection and art & crafts.

The canvas is where I find my solitude, a place to calm my mind and bring the world of creativity and imagination into 'reality' for other to share.

Through art, I am familiar with a place that many have never explored. I often bear witness to people standing on the precipice, afraid to go in and cynical of what is beyond. 

My vision in to bring the world of imagination out and into this one, as a way of showing others what is beyond their limits. With familiarity I hope to bridge the gap, reduce the fear and open a world of minds. 

Combining psychotherapy, neuroscience, imagination, a little bit of paint and sometimes a spritz of glitter, creation is possible for anyone.
