We are very excited to have 'The Perspective Project' exhibit with us this spring. So many interesting artworks with poignant artist stories to go with them. One artist has struck me with their imagination, skilled technique and vision.

Ann Foster

I trained in art in my 20s, achieving a first-class BA (Honours) and an

MA. However, having a family, I found it impractical to also pursue a

career as an artist at that time. I consequently went into a career in

social work, and in time became a manager for mental health services,

with responsibility for multiple facilities.

After several years, and due to complications in my personal life, I had a

severe nervous breakdown which forced me to accept early retirement.

In an attempt to find myself again, I returned to painting. I focused on

creating images of empowered women, such as Amazonian warriors.

Many of my recent works are metaphors or allegories for the battle of

the individual against mental health problems.
