Two women artists. Both witness the struggles experienced by women, but their approaches, the way images and art making express their ideas, is very different. Making and sharing art can be healing.

Fio Adamson
Fio is a white British artist with a Masters in Fine Art and another in Arts and Ecology. Here she focuses on women and mental health, specifically the pain suffered by her mother and her adopted daughter. She intends in her installation and her drawings to beautify the ugliness that pain and hurt can bring. She believes that all humans begin life as intelligent, loving, creative and fun-loving and that behavior outside this model arises from damage by the oppressive society. Women hurt by misogyny need intelligent and specific support to assist them to recover their inherent nature, but that has so often over the generations been unavailable to them.
Fio exhibits the loveliness and humanity of women alongside the pain and isolation many endure, which may cause them to act in ways not fitting with the conventional world.
