I appreciate that it's been a while since our last episode. There continues to be a lot of change for everyone during this time (yes an understatement, I know). I'm very much about sharing stories that are of interest to me and/or that are very relevant to what's going on. This one ticks both of those boxes.

I first met Ellie Harrison last September when she was a panellist for one of our Kinder Communities events for the Leeds Festival of Kindness, Compassion and Wellbeing. Ellie is an amazing artist and I wanted to find out more about her body of work called The Grief Series. I really enjoyed hearing about the different projects that form this work and her collaborations with other artists in the UK and Mexico.

Grief is something we all experience and yet we don't talk about it enough. These projects allow people to explore it in creative and safe ways using compassion, humour, clever words, emotion, fun and splashes of colour.

Ellie also talks about how she's been providing others with support this past year through resources that she's made readily available. To explore them and learn more about her work please check her website:
