T. E. Hutchinson - Writer / Artist

A page dedicated to the love of all things art and a huge project for a fantastic cause, and my long-term bucket list goal - writing a book about the grizzly and the beautiful that we experience as trauma survivours, through the eyes of little me.

My mam told me that I should write this book - not just as a tool to increase the understanding and compassion towards mental health as a whole - but also as a therapeutic way of processing the memories I've stored up and pushed so far away that even I can't recall them most of the time.
Something that I've noticed lately is that there is so much readily accessible media portraying the struggles and hardship that walk hand in hand with head stuff. For me, this book is not just a list of reasons to empathise with us, but an opportunity to see, through over a decade of experience, how much life can shape us, and what is possible given the opportunity to recover from trauma, rise to seemingly impossible challenges, and share a very real, very honest inner monologue of a girl gone "mad".
For those who would like to know, I have diagnoses of PTSD and OCD, with Depression and Anxiety. However, the focus of this page is to concentrate less on the "label", and more on the person, and personal growth underneath. I'm hoping that this piece will reflect that philosophy, giving both deep insight and relatability to anybody who would like to explore mental health in a no-fuss, blatant, and unique style. Plus, hopefully I'll be able to to make you chuckle, feel comfortable, and feel inspired to tackle challenges in day-to-day life, just like the beautiful people in my life who allowed me to do the same.

Keep following this page for updates on progress and my latest pieces, including craft, traditional and digital art, writing, and illustration.

Peace
