Good morning all, I’d like to let you all know about my website where all my work can be found! I’ve yet to add more so please bare with me ! But please do head over and check it the link is on my bio! Also 50% of profits from any work sold from now until March will be going to Diabetes UK to support the brilliant work they do. We sadly lost my cousin in October to her long battle with diabetes and my family and I want to continue to support them. Thank you and lots of love! #website #new #support #art #deniaartista #selondonadtist #makingformentalhealth #artastherapy

Hi everyone! I was recently interviewed by @speakup_mental_health we spoke about living with anorexia and how I use art as a way to support myself on the road to recovery. I just want to add that these are all my views and thoughts everyone’s journeys are different. I’ve put the link in my bio if you would like to watch it!

Such a privilege to collaborate with local schools thank you all! Posted @withrepost • @bethlemgallery As part of our events for the @thebigdraw 2022, we’ve been collaborating with local schools to get their input and help with designing our workshops. Swipe to see more colourful photographs from workshops with students from Beckmead Park Academy and Chaffinch Brook School, part of the Beckmead Trust. Beckmead Park Academy is an all-through, mixed SEN school situated over four sites in the London Borough of Croydon. Chaffinch Brook is a primary and secondary for pupils diagnosed with ASD (Autistic Spectrum disorder) and associated mental health needs. The sessions were facilitated with the help of Bethlem artist Yas Martinez. Our Studio Lead, Amanda Glynn commented; “It was an absolute delight working with them and their teachers. The Head of Art, Thulani, participated and is to thank for making this collaboration go ahead.” You can join our drop-in drawing workshop as part of #TheBigDraw on Saturday 22nd October from 11am-4pm.

Posted @withregram • @thehouseofsmalls Just a few shots from last night in quieter moments. Thank you so much to everyone who came, the Houses and artwork got loads of attention…including a visit from the Mayor and Mayoress of Chester… Was delighted to meet lovely artists @barbart2002 and @diva_jane_gibson who have pieces in Shadow, @lindapearlizan and @artlooop, my art fair neighbour @siusanart, and have a surprise visit from the adorable @melodythorntonartist. I’ll post more as and when I can and will also start putting up artist features. Thank you so much again for your amazing support…and apologies to the person I was speaking with when I accidentally swallowed my lip stud…😁 @fronteer_art @cascgallery @thehouseofsmalls #minitureart #artinadollshouse #groupshow #shadows #houseofsmalls #timeofherlife #shadow #artformentalhealth #makingforthemind #selondonartist

Really chuffed to have my new piece Hidden Behind the knot exhibited at @fronteer_art thank you to @thehouseofsmalls for having me again! I love being a part of your shows and exhibiting in your dolls houses you’re amazing! Hidden Behind the Knot Sculpture 1.5in x 4in £45 When I first started to stutter I felt like I’d lost myself I couldn’t speak and I didn’t want to speak. My communication was limited. If I needed to speak my family would speak for me or I’d point and nod. I felt completely lost and vulnerable stuttering was pushing me further and further into a dark place and taking over my life. We’ve spent a lot of time working on my speech and confidence the past few years and Im now speaking a lot more I won’t live in the shadow of my stutter it’s part of me now and I’m learning there’s room for both of us. #fronteer #art #miniart #minsculpture #artinadollshouse #shadow #timeofherlife #tongue #sharingexperience #talking #stutter #knot #speaking #overcoming #sharing #selondonartist

18/04/22 mark making automatic drawing in black and blue biro All therapy is a roller coaster ride of emotions, thoughts and feelings but I found group therapy very difficult on some days. I do have empathy and everyone’s thoughts and feelings are valid but I’m also human and some days it was bloody hard and annoying to listen to other people and I’d like to say this is a completely normal feeling to have ! You’re not bad, mean, horrible or any other nasty thing you can think about yourself you’re bloody human and sometimes other humans are annoying! #Biro #markmaking #fineliner #pencil #graphite #willinghands #halfsmiling #angry #TIP #calmingtechniques #automaticdrawing #GroupTherapy #Grounding #DBT #Oxleas #Mentalhealthmatters #artastherapy #makingformymentalhealth #SELondonartist

11/04/22 mark making automatic drawing in black finer Back on track with therapy after a few weeks when I made this drawing. I actually title them on the reverse so I have a summary of how the session went this one is called I cried a lot and told them I couldn’t connect. I don’t feel silly for crying and I’m very proud of telling the psychologists and group that I couldn’t connect the honesty really helped me get over the hurdle that was holding me back and helped them help me ! #Biro #markmaking #fineliner #pencil #graphite #willinghands #halfsmiling #angry #TIP #calmingtechniques #automaticdrawing #GroupTherapy #Grounding #DBT #Oxleas #Mentalhealthmatters #artastherapy #makingformymentalhealth #SELondonartist

20/03/22 I wasn’t going to share these from my DBT book but I think it’s important for anyone who might be doing therapy , thinking about it or in the middle of it to know that sometimes it is very annoying and you feel like you can’t connect. Sometimes you do think it’s a waste of time and sometimes you take a day off and they’re completely normal feels to have ! Not everything works and you won’t agree with everything but I do stick with it and give yourself the fairest chance you can! I didn’t think i was going to get past the dip I took in the middle but I’m glad I did because I’ve found me some very useful skills! #Biro #markmaking #fineliner #pencil #graphite #sharpie #angry #angrywords #dip #stickwithit #calmingtechniques #automaticdrawing #GroupTherapy #Grounding #DBT #Oxleas #Mentalhealthmatters #artastherapy #makingformymentalhealth #SELondonartist.

For the past 6 months I’ve been doing three hours of group dialectical behavioural therapy and yesterday we had our last session. It’s been challenging , upsetting and difficult at times but I think I’ve picked up some skills to help me when it gets bad. To help me focus and stay calm I’ve been doing automatic drawings/ mark making during each session. I’ll miss my time to do these this is my last one. #DBT #GroupTherapy #Oxleas #MentalHealthMatters #artastherapy #artformymentalhealth #markmaking #automaticdrawing #inkdrawing #birodrawing #SELondonartist

A concertina book themed on insomnia. I love concertina books so much they’re just brilliant to get lost in. #monochromeart #southeastlondonartists #insomnia #concertinabook #blackandwhite #drawing #blackamdwhitrart #artastherapy #makingformymentalhealth #artformentalhealth

The work relates to the internal turmoil felt battling with the wants and needs of depression, an ED, and BPD. #ArtExhibition #VirtualArt #DisabledArtist #MentalHealthArtist #SpoonieArtist #ArtistsOnInstagram #Artist #DisabilityArt #Exhibition #belongingexhibition # #yasMartinez makingformymentalhealth #londonartist #southeastlondonartist

So chuffed to be part of this show !! And really proud of this piece I don’t like to talk about having an eating disorder but I’ve done it and I’m doing it it’s so important to me to make work like this to get all those cooped up thoughts and feelings out of me. There’s a lot that I haven’t been able to speak about in the past but with art I can. Thank you for everyone’s likes and kind words about this piece 💕 Posted @withregram • @thehouseofsmalls CW Mention of anorexia/unit inpatient YASMINE MARTINEZ Day in day out Sculpture (clay, acrylic and graphite) 4.5cm x 5cm x 2cm £45 When I was younger I had anorexia and I was made an inpatient on an eating disorders unit I lived there until I was well enough to leave and it was hard.

I’ve been editing the colours on my collage of Cecil’s queen! I absolutely am in love with the deep pinks, purples and greens on the first one! I also really like the patriotic blues and reds on the second! I’m thinking of doing a run of prints possibly ten of each ? I would love to know peoples thoughts ! #TheQueen #cecilbeaton #portrait #flowers #collageart #colourburst #southeastlondonartist #feedback #artastherapy #artformentalhealth #printsforsale #sellingartwork #madebyme #littleartistsatwork

Hi all! Here is my piece Day in Day out which is currently on display with @thehouseofsmalls as part of the Confined exhibition. 32 of us from around the world have made a piece in response to the exhibitions title. I chose to make a piece looking at my time as an inpatient on an Eating disorders unit. (TW I speak about eating disorders further down) It’s a tough time in my life that comes up more often than not and I struggle with a lot of the things that happen back then so it’s been really helpful making this piece I’ve been able to reflect and sit with my feelings as well as smash some clay around to get that anger out ! Please do head over and check out all the brilliant work on display!

So thrilled to be apart of the this amazing exhibition please do head over to the house of smalls to check out all of the beautiful work and variety of responses to the theme CONFINED! Thank you Amy! X Posted @withregram • @thehouseofsmalls 🌟 OPEN! 🌟 I’M SO SORRY PARTICIPATING ARTISTS ~ @instagram WON’T ALLOW ME TO ADD YOUR @s (apparently doing so maybe harmful to the community) 🤬. I’ll keep trying 🖤 CONFINED is group show exhibiting the artwork of 32 women who responded to the title/theme of confinement. This is a slightly smaller and very international show with participating artists residing in Brazil, Canada, Greece, Iran, Russia, South Africa, Turkey, UK and US. ​ Although currently online only, it is a physical exhibition and artworks will hang on and stand within the diminutive walls of the gallery. The words and language used in features are the artists' own. Some of the pieces in the show are originals, some are holding prints until works arrive from countries far and wide, and others are prints taken from artists’ submissions where access to postal services etc is too difficult/complicated in current circumstances. The Houses are now based in the north Cotswolds and if anyone is ever in the area and wants to pop in and see a show, just drop me a message 🖤 #Confined #GroupShow #WomenArtists #WomxnArtists #FemaleArtists #InternationalWomenArtists #ArtForHealing #ArtTherapy #HonestArt #Self #SmallArt #SmallButBig #OpeningNight #TheHouseOfSmalls #DollHouseProject #DollHouseArtSpace @thehouseofsmalls @fragilityofself
