The Touchstone IAPT team have been fortunate to share our offices with the work of Alisia Casper this Summer and Autumn. Alisia is a Leeds based artist who draws on her experiences of long term health conditions (including chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia) when making drawings, paintings, photography, writing and music.
As we have begun offering new online treatments for people living with diabetes, heart and lung conditions her work has helped us bear in mind the effect of health problems on how we see the world and ourselves.
If you would like to know more about Alisia you can visit her website:
http://www.alisiacasper.com/
or see her perform live at
The Brudenell Social Club on January 16th 2019.
