A debut exhibition at the John Mackintosh Hall sees Natasha Cottrell explore the role art plays in a life that has been heavily impacted by her struggles with mental health.

From processing her diagnoses and acute episodes to capturing her connections with nature, Natasha hopes to normalise mental health issues and help reduce the stigma that still surrounds the topic.

Shadows in Bloom will be up at the John Mackintosh Hall until the 15th.
