Based in Toronto, Canada, artist Charli Forrester experienced a period of insomnia in September 2017 and turned to drawing to occupy her mind. The next day, she purchased paints and brushes and has been painting ever since. Mental health and healing are prominent themes in her work. Her self-portrait “Mend” explores the wish that mental health could be as easily fixed as physical health.
