Hailey Tallman is an Artist and Art Therapist. She graduated from bealart in London, Ontario in 1998 and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University with her BFA in 2003. She went on to get her masters’ in Creative Arts Therapies from Concordia in 2015.
Inspired by her own personal healing through art and art therapy, Hailey created several signature therapeutic art processes that focus on process over product. Her processes help people heal their "art scars" via connection with their inner knowing and open them up to their inherent creativity.
Hailey's artwork is eclectic, from gel and linocut prints, to egg-carton clay sculptures, to paintings featuring collaged maps and napkins. Her colourful artwork often features bikes and social justice issues, pushing it into the category of “artivism” (art + activism). She follows her inner voice as she paints and is in constant dialogue with the colours, patterns, movement and emotions that emerge, both within her and on the canvas.
