Sheree Mack
I’m a writer, an artist, a teacher and a facilitator of creativity who’s been sharing my authentic self online for so many years now I’ve lost count.
I’ve got over 15 years experience of supporting women on their journey to follow their heart, to listen to their intuitive voice and to remember their whole self through sharing my journey and creative practice.
I studied art and design to GCSE level. I wanted to continue with my art studies but my art teacher at the time wasn’t encouraging. He favoured my best friend’s artwork over mine and made sure I knew it. So I took French instead of Art at ‘A’ level to spite him. But all I was doing was hurting myself as I stopped creating art for many years, believing I wasn’t good enough. I’ve regretted that decision for a lifetime it seems.
I channelled my creativity into my teaching and then as a freelance writer, always denying myself the time and space and freedom to create visually. My art teacher’s lack of encouragement weighed heavily on me. But I can’t blame him as it’s been me who’s been preventing me from picking up a paintbrush. I didn’t feel as if I had a right to be an artist or to make art.
I don’t think that way any more. My artwork is a unique expression of myself. It reflects how I see and feel and experience the world around me. I know that no one in this world can create what I create. My creations are unique and because of that they are enough. I am enough.
I do not confine myself to a specific medium or genre of art. I like to use a range of different mediums to express what I’m searching for and want to share. I gain immense joy and flow and peace from making art. I hope you can experience this joy too when you visit my online studios.
Making art has been an excavation for me. It’s been an act of reclamation; of my mind, my body, my voice. It has been a practice in reclaiming my agency as well as my happiness. Creating has given me the time and space and energy to process and heal from trauma that probably still holds a place in my heart and soul but without which I wouldn’t be who I am now.

Life
And life cycle
passing of time
Defeat and victory
Passed
By recording them in the egg shell
The shell symbolizes birth and purity
Breaking the chicken theme is a symbol of life
With the use of resin and cardboard and eggs

About Art Lab
Art Lab is a monthly meet-up for artists and art practitioners to discuss their work, concurrent ideas and critical thinking. It’s open to anyone who would like to attend and contribute constructively. Art Lab is for sharing ideas, mutual learning, peer support and networking.
The format is two presentations by artists / practitioners about their work / ideas / interests: 20-30 minute presentations followed by Q&A. Art Lab welcomes all art practitioners at any stage in their career and operates a safe space policy. Art Lab is coordinated by Halifax based artist/curator/writer Alice Bradshaw.
Art Lab is returning to in person meetings September 2022 with the option to join remotely via zoom too. If you would like to present at any of the Art Labs please email / message Alice:
