ABOUT THE FACILITATOR

After a concussion in March 2014, Angela started drawing. She was not an artist before but after my concussion, my soul and personality changed. She started feeling and seeing the world differently. She could not express the mental changes she was experiencing but through the colour and texture of paint, she could speak again. These are her Mindless Doodles. Angela is battling many symptoms of post-concussion syndrome but she chooses to create art to take away the depression, anxiety and stress. Having this artistic talent has been a great platform to speak openly about what she is going through and allows her to help those who are experiencing the same things
