about me
Welcome!
I am Aswani Siwakoti -an artist, arts facilitator, registered Social Service Worker, and an art therapy student at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute (TATI).
As an artist, my work is driven by intuition, intention, and curiosity. I explore personal narratives and help others do the same through my arts based mental health workshops.
My goal is to create spaces where art can be used for storytelling, healing, and building community. More about me here.
