- She spent a lot of time reading case studies or first person experiences on forums.
- Art helps us take a step closer to making that attempt and that was the hope.
- She tried to break a lot of myths typically associated with these disorders/subjects and using a combination of mental disorders and illnesses with emotions that a lot of us perhaps feel, in varying intensities.

- Archiatric depicts 16 different conditions as works of architecture in various states of repair.
- The images might seem abstract for some, but anyone living with the agony of mental illness should find them painfully accurate.

- I found that drawing my worries and fears as little monsters would help me think about them differently and make my anxiety feel more manageable. I imagined that my anxiety could be overcome by giving it a physical from, giving it a visible weakness that I could learn to exploit.
- I also wanted to try and educate people about mental illness and maybe even reduce the stigma surrounding it, through helping viewers to understand what it's like to have one of these conditions.
- I begin each monster design by researching the condition or disorder extensively, often relying on real life case studies or first person stories to get a better understanding of the illness I intend to draw. Each person’s experience with a mental illness will differ, so I try to create something that many people will find familiar.
