Tania Lewis-Rickard’s work is a reflection of the artist's desire to raise awareness, encourage open conversations, and remind others that they are not alone.

The artist uses light, liquid, pattern, and color as metaphors for abstract thoughts and the complexities of the mind. Light symbolizes hope and the gaining of knowledge and understanding of a topic that affects us all in some way.

Her work is an invitation, a reminder that there is nothing inherently wrong with you as a person. It is also a reminder that with the support and love of whanau (family and community), you can learn to embrace comfort in the confusion while finding beauty in the healing process.
