Andy Hollinghurst

Depression & Art

On the surface Andy Hollinghurst was calm, controlled and pleasant. Qualities needed for his job as a school headmaster. But underneath, this father of five suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression. After a massive burnout, Andy discovered the healing qualities of painting, documenting his crash, and eventually, his recovery. Andy is now a full-time artist, working in the north of England. He is also a passionate campaigner for wellbeing and reform in the workplace.
