Medley (Isobel Murdoch)

Home / Artists & Art Organisations / Medley (Isobel Murdoch)

I set up Medley in 2020 as an online arts for wellbeing initiative. I run art for wellbeing challenges, as well as producing creative ideas for care homes and leading an NHS art and craft group.

Following Arts Council England Developing Your Creative Practice funding in 2024, I have produced a training course in using art with other people to boost their wellbeing, using a method I call Paint Your Mind.

I am setting up a new initiative as well called Make To Give, all about giving away what you make.

While visual art is the focus, where possible I combine this with music and nature connection for an intersectional approach.
