Dyan Reaveley: Thriving with Mental Illness through Creativity

In this episode of Life Handmade, we sit down with vibrant artist and designer Dyan Reaveley. Hear about her childhood filled with basic crayons and walls full of magazine clippings and later how an unfortunate accident left her struggling as a young mother of 4. It was many years before she discovered her “accidental career” in teaching art and creativity, where she also began learning about and discussing mental illness. In this inspiring interview, Dyan relays the importance of moving past the fear of failing at art and the best ways she’s uncovered to foster improved mental health in herself.
