“I enjoy art, bright colours, putting pen to paper and seeing what comes, it’s good for your mood,” says this anonymous artist, who submits her work via London arts and activity centre for people affected by homelessness, the 240 Project. “Everyone’s an artist in some way or another – even if it’s just a squiggle, a line, two lines, it’s still art, art is what you see. I think my work is art – though some people say it’s not, but that’s okay, everyone’s idea of art is different.”
