My name is Sid Collins, owner and founder of Light and Dark Art, born in June 1997.

I am a father to my two beautiful children who inspire me to do better every day.

I have always had a passion for creativity and I found joy in art and music. I practised piano, painting, drawing and even photography in an aim to find what I was truly good at.

I spent most of my life in a state of depression, anxiety and feeling alone which I found difficult to talk about.

My art has allowed me to portray my emotions and create a visual connection with them. This has ultimately become a form of therapy for me.

I hope that my art will encourage people to find their way of communicating and break the silence.

If I can show just one person that they're not alone then I have done my job as an artist.
