I found a healthier way of expressing my emotions is a group show inspired by and including works by an artist from Dillwynia Correctional Centre. They were purchased from Boom Gate Gallery (@ Long Bay Jail) whose staff make regular visits to Dillwynia to ensure equal representation of women at the gallery. 

The artist wrote “I discovered the gift of art after I joined the art program offered in Dillwynia in 2022. And my life has never been the same. I found a healthier way of expressing my emotions. I started finding my voice through arts. I found a platform to tell my story, to speak my mind, to be a voice for those who are still scared or who simply cannot. I’m 49 years old but I feel like my life has just begun.”
