Martin Roberts
DipFA, BA(Hons), MA Ath, AThRArtist Therapist
I’m an artist and therapist, and I’m passionate about creativity, making art, and supporting others to find their passion and true selves.
I moved from Dublin, Ireland to Australia in 2002 and now I live and work in the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney.
What I do
Artist
- I create 2 and 3 dimensional textile and mixed media art works.
- Through my art I explore my responses and understandings of our world through texture, layers and colour.
- I have an extensive background in fashion and costume, and this has formed my preoccupation with textiles. which are central to my art practice. To this, I add other mixed media and found objects.
Therapist
- Art therapy, counselling, eco therapy.
- I value diversity and equality and believe that each person has a unique strength and ability.
- I support people to creatively explore their inner worlds to manage difficult periods in their life and achieve personal growth.

Creative
- Community art projects.
- I’m always up for taking on new and different creative projects and collaborating with others.
