‘The Face of Big Business’
by Mary Vallely
Mary studied art and design for five years in college and has been working as an artist in London for 10 years, selling and exhibiting work through Café Art and Crisis. “Art helps with my depression,” she says. “I have a history of homelessness and use day centres to access art materials. Without these I would be unable to create my work. I love using colour; it helps my mood. The sadder I am the more colour comes out. The pain becomes beautiful.”
