Andree Levesque uses art as her outlet to help her cope with her mental illness – Jan 27, 2018

Andree Levesque has been an artist ever since she can remember. She draws and paints at least two art pieces every day.

Levesque has been diagnosed with multiple mental health illnesses throughout her life. Drawing and paining and even having art shows such as this one — being held at the Window Art Gallery where she gets to interact with others — has immensely helped her.

“I feel myself. I feel able to contour and to rest and to interact with different people,” says Levesque.

Research shows that an average person has 60,000 thoughts in a day, and 95 per cent are exactly the same, day-in and day-out. Creative outlets like art have shown to help break this pattern.
