“Breaking Molds & Chains; A Mental Health Journey of Healing with RESIN ART” is a deeply personal and inspiring journey through the eyes of an artist grappling with clinical PTSD, anxiety, and depression. This poignant memoir intertwines the therapeutic art of resin crafting with a narrative of personal growth, mental health challenges, and spiritual healing. Stacey Lyddon takes readers on a transformative journey from the confines of her basement studio, where she discovers the restorative power of resin art, to the broader horizons of community bonding and teaching. Each chapter delves into the nuances of resin art—its discipline, challenges, and boundless possibilities—as metaphors for life's trials and triumphs. From mastering the medium's demanding nature to fostering connections within the resin art community, Stacey's story is one of resilience, empowerment, and the unyielding pursuit of personal and artistic fulfillment.
This book is not just a guide to resin art but a testament to the healing power of creativity and the strength found in vulnerability and shared experiences. Stacey also shares some community resources that have helped her along the way.
