Dyan Reaveley: Thriving with Mental Illness through Creativity

In this episode of Life Handmade, we sit down with vibrant artist and designer Dyan Reaveley. Hear about her childhood filled with basic crayons and walls full of magazine clippings and later how an unfortunate accident left her struggling as a young mother of 4. It was many years before she discovered her “accidental career” in teaching art and creativity, where she also began learning about and discussing mental illness. In this inspiring interview, Dyan relays the importance of moving past the fear of failing at art and the best ways she’s uncovered to foster improved mental health in herself. More Info on the Life Handmade Podcast SubscribeScrapbook.com: Store and Community for CraftersDyan Reaveley's products at Scrapbook.comDyan's Paint PensCollage SheetsInstructional videos: How to Journal the Dylusions Way with Dyan ReaveleyInstructional videos: Art Journaling Ideas and Inspiration with Dyan ReaveleyInstructional videos: Soul Healing Art with Dyan ReaveleyArt Therapy Benefits and History on the Scrapbook.com blogPodcast Music by Mindy GledhillPodcast Cover Art Projects by Flora Farkas#lifehandmadepod Join Our VIP Text List!Subscribe to VIP text messages for free products, exclusive live events, and special offers!
