About the artist and their art:
For Violet, making art is endlessly therapeutic. Whether she is plastering cardboard with broad streams of paint, or carefully applying twirls of string in collage, she is always completely in the zone. Violet joined the studio in a period of grieving and has found the group a true outlet. When her mom passed, she found that Artbox gave her the freeing outlet to express her feelings with no barriers.
She describes her work as like a barometer of her emotions. When her mother died, her art darkened in reflection. ‘There was a period where my art went completely black’, she tells us. ‘That was the only colour used, black that’s it.’ She has moved forward since then, ‘now I’ve come out of the grief and I am more bright colours. I still use the black but I make sure it’s got bright colours into it as well. That’s me. That’s how I express myself.’
