Description
Douglas Findlay is our Artist Champion!
He is an artist based in Scotland creating art inspired by the people he meets, the places he goes to and the emotions he feels.
The background of this piece is inspired by a sunset over water. Water has associations with emotions and movement and complements the quote perfectly.
“I am drawn to nature and also areas of water. I believe spending time in nature helps with feelings of calmness and also recovery.”
He has enjoyed working with mental health charities in the past and believes that art goes hand in hand with mental well-being. Art gives an opportunity to express what words sometimes fail to do. His work is expressive in style and he uses it to generate discussion around mental health and emotions.
“I chose the quote stop acting so small, you are the universe in ecstatic motion because I believe people sometimes fail to realise how powerful they are. Even the tiniest action can make a huge difference to your own mental health and the mental health of those closest to you.”
