After enduring skin cancer surgery and resultant PTSD, 61-year-old Linda Pitcher is set to exhibit her ceramics at London's New Designers. For months, she struggled with self-consciousness and fear of social situations due to the visible effects of her surgery. Seeking help, she engaged in cognitive behavioral therapy, gradually rediscovering her passion for art, particularly sketching, which she had pursued in childhood. Although dyslexia posed challenges, Pitcher has begun to express herself through ceramics, stepping confidently into this new chapter of her life as an artist.
After surgery, stepping out into the world was daunting for Pitcher. Post-surgery, she grappled with PTSD, which made social interactions traumatic.
The turning point came when she began cognitive behavioural therapy, which helped her face her fears and reclaim her love for art and sketching.
Pitcher's connection to art emerged in childhood, as sketching became a way for her to communicate amidst the challenges of dyslexia and self-doubt.
Now, at 61, Pitcher prepares for her first ceramics exhibition, marking a bold step in overcoming her past traumas and embracing her creativity.
