As an artist, the nature of my work is therapeutic, participatory, and improvisative. I work with different kinds of mediums, ranging from music, visual art, design, collage, to even movement and creative writing. My method is not meant to be a displacement to clinical services, but to take a role in establishing safe, helpful, and supportive communities that are bound through art. It is complementary, but hopefully can be more sporadic, as mental health issues are also a pressing global issue that we are facing. We need all the force from multiple sectors to take part in this, including art and collective practices. I believe art has a huge power to provide infinite benefits towards all people, not only as viewer or passive audience, but actively participating in it, being empowered to create their own art for a specific theme or need. I have been collaborating with communities / organizations, or making independent workshops / art sessions for the last few years. I am offering 1 on 1 workshop and group sessions of expressive art, either online or face to face. Some of the workshops that I offer includes Mindful Drawing Workshop, Expressive Painting to Music Workshop, Dolo Dance Workshop, and Circle of Emotions Painting Workshop.

“… how you held your presence with so much inviting, warmth, and care, and I think the way you kind of invited us to join the singing and journey makes a big difference to the experience as well”.

“It has been a pleasure to see Ina Leah develop and deliver her project as part of her MA and the RCA at St George’s Hospital, which was programmed as part of St George’s Arts Week 2024. Ina Leah, along with Assistant Facilitator Sharol Ahluwalia, brought warmth, enthusiasm and passion to both their collaborative collage and songwriting, and Ina Leah’s performance in later in the day.”
