Gallery Manager Ellie Armstrong Murray-Mills began working with us, in Edinburgh, in the summer of 2019.

Ellie has a background working as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist combined with Hypnotherapy (Hypno-CBT), and has also worked in the safeguarding of vulnerable persons. Artistically, her interest in Sculpting and Metal work can be traced back to her father’s passion for creating metal artwork. Ellie acknowledges that creative expression is a powerful means of therapy, with a highly effective form being welding in metal artistry where emotions can be released in an empowering way without the use of words!

Ellie believes the most enjoyable aspect of working as Gallery Manager at LifewithArt has been the journey over the last 18 months at Dean House. The tutors bring a uniqueness with their creative art and in the same way do the service users in the community. There is such positive energy in the building now. The whole-team at LifewithArt are amazing! 🩷
