Vera Keatley

I’m a multidisciplinary artist with a background in both visual and expressive arts. I’ve loved making art since I was a child—it’s always brought me peace, joy, and a sense of grounding. Over the years, that creative spark has evolved alongside my work as a Clinical Psychologist and Art Therapist.

Art is how I connect—with myself and with others. It helps me slow down, make sense of the world, and explore emotion in a way that words sometimes can’t. I’m especially drawn to color—its emotional depth, the way hues relate and respond to each other, and how certain combinations can evoke feeling or memory. Exploring chromatic relationships is often at the heart of my process.

I enjoy working with a range of materials and allowing the process to guide me. Blending my creative and therapeutic work has shown me how deeply human and healing art can be. Through my pieces, I hope to share something that feels honest, warm, and quietly meaningful.
