Barbara is always making things. She first joined Helium while waiting for a physiotherapy appointment, and has loved the chance to explore new techniques and meet other people like her. As she starts to think about the future, Barbara knows she knows she wants to keep on creating. She loves making gifts for friends and family, and hopes to sell some more of her work professionally.
Barbara’s artwork she created during a Helium workshop. When she was 11, Barbara was diagnosed with a rare disorder that caused chronic inflammation in her bones. More recently, she was diagnosed with Autism. It’s a lot for anyone to handle, and creativity is a way for her to process things.
Barbara also liked that Helium gave her the chance to meet new people. There are her fellow workshop artists of course. With each connection came an important understanding.
“Not everybody is going through the same things as me,” Barbara explains. “But they’re all going through something.”
