WELCOME

Zebracornartandesigns is a born from having lived experience with mental and physical health conditions and being able to have a safe space to express all aspects of illness and your true self without judgement or fear.

sometimes it can be a very emotional and confronting work other times it’s when you need to take a break an do something fun and engaging.

I explore this all in depth and the role that can art have in healing from trauma by expressing your inner self and this is achieved by using symbolism bright colours a wide range of mediums and being analytical of works.

Check out my article which explains more of my story on https://www.artistcloseup.com/blog/interview-lauren-gorrie

Who am I and what do I do?

My name is Lauren Beverley Gorrie, I’m 29, a quirky and colourful caring person. I am a Allied Health Assistant/ Disability support worker I use this experience along with my lived experience with invisible illness to inspire my artworks and also teach and help clients make their own artworks

I’m passionate about mental health awareness, specifically borderline personality disorder and aim to shed a more positive light into disorder but also about personality disorders in general as they are highly stigmatised and not discussed openly even when it comes to mental health awareness I aim to show a real life perspective into lived experience with BPD through my artworks.

Rare genetic disease awareness, specifically Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, its under researched and under funded and highly disabling. Currently in Australia there in no specific rare genetic disease private specialist doctor or clinic. Hopefully by opening up about my own struggles with chronic and invisible illnesses and my ability to use art as a way to express myself that maybe other people will start a conversation through looking at my artwork.
