Joya: AiR / Lauren Taylor / residency coordinator

I am interested in how creativity can be used as a tool to improve and navigate our wellbeing and mental health. I discovered my love for art during my MSc in Psychology and this has remained an important part of my life. Since graduating I have worked in schools supporting young people to understand and process their emotions. I now volunteer with older adults living with dementia and run community art groups with a focus on enjoying the process. I hope to continue combining my background in psychology with my interest in art and to find more ways to make creativity feel accessible and joyous.

Lauren Taylor.
