8 years ago after a period of feeling low and fairly lonely with it, I wrote a ‘note to self’ list of things that relieved some of the heaviness and made me feel a little happier.

Simple actions were key, such as 'Talk to someone, anyone, about anything' which I wrote after chatting to a local shopkeeper for a just few minutes; I left the shop feeling a part of the world again.

Initially my list was private and I was embarrassed for people to see it, but one day I told a friend who immediately said that the same things worked for her.

I collected lists from friends and family, and wanted to share their words in the hope of connecting with and helping someone.

I painted ‘Hide Less Chat More’ on a battered wall in London and everything grew organically from there. Artworks are now spread far across the globe in public spaces, galleries and people’s homes.
