Art Presentation and discussion by Kathryn Monks "Life has its ups and downs, and there was a time when I was very down. It was then that I discovered the power of art. Through art I explored my emotions and psychological reactions to events and expressed it in pictures. The art leaves a legacy of that time. Join me, in the beautiful market town of Clitheroe, whilst we look at the connection between art, the subconscious and the healing process."
