Carla Hanton - She/Her/Hers

 

I currently work part time from my home in Romford England making and selling various kinds of artworks, ranging many styles including digital projects, kitchy crafts and traditional charcoal drawings. I haven't yet settled in to a style and am currently enjoying the variety of working in a range of mediums and styles for various clients.

​

Life consists of spending time with my loved ones, exploring the world and weathering the ups and downs of existence with my partner Jimmy, taking on lots of creative projects in both a professional and personal capacity and as a general rule - embracing all that is unusual and interesting to me. 

​

I love learning and whether it's a new type of instrument a new language or a period of history I usually have a passion for a handful of things at any given time. I'm especially passionate about behavioural science, psychology and mental health and am a big believer in encouraging a healthy discourse about mental wellbeing and our behaviours in taking care of ourselves. 

 

I've had mental health challenges from an early age, including generalised anxiety disorder and depression. Managing my mental health can take up more time than I would like from my life but I've had some excellent opportunities and experiences and in many ways I think an increased awareness of my mental health and psychology as a whole has been a huge advantage.

 

I manage my mental health quite well these days and with the right adjustments have found a passion for living life to the full, I'm lucky to have an excellent support network and a very positive outlook in most situations.
