Healing and Humour in Every Tile - Anne Bowden - Brought to you by New World Whitianga - Coromind Issue 25, 2025

Anne Bowden’s 20-year legacy of mosaics and mentorship - Her journey into art began during a challenging 10-year period of deep depression. Encouraged by her counsellor to try painting, she discovered a creative outlet that became transformative. This led to her participation in an exhibition organized by Stepping Out, a support group for psychiatric survivors in Thames, where she showcased her work for the first time.www.coromind.nz
