Street Art: Brighton artist Robyn Forman says art has rescued her

The Big Issue's Street Art page gives talented, marginalised individuals an outlet for creative expression

‘Resources 2’
by Robyn Forman

My work is about healing, forgiveness and reconciliation,” says Robyn, who is in her late fifties and lives in Brighton. “I came from the school of hard knocks. A recent diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis on top of my bipolar is difficult, however art has rescued me. The artistic process gives me relief from the difficulties of managing my health issues.”
