"My ‘inner voices’ drive me to make art, both on a practical level but also on an emotional level. I find the process of creating like a type of therapy, to help me figure out my thoughts, emotions and doubts. When people connect with my art, they can feel the same kind of resolution and happiness too." Hayley Welsh.
Living in Perth but still travelling throughout the year to the UK and the USA she develops art projects in the various places she finds herself.
