About Us

Welcome to Colour & Cleanse!

I started making colouring books following my personal experience having an eating disorder (anorexia nervosa) which consumed my life for just over a year. The good news is I overcame this challenge (hooray), however during the recovery process I was faced with a lot of boredom, stress and struggled to temporarily remove and reduce exercise from my daily routine. 
My intention is to help anybody experiencing an eating disorder or struggling with mental health by providing creative resources that motivate you to keep going and fill those difficult moments when you feel ‘unproductive’. It is crucial that you realise taking time out is the most productive thing you can do during recovery. In a world that idolises hustle culture, I would like to offer a calm, peaceful appreciation for the wonderful world we live in and how beautiful you were created for your own unique purpose.

 

Even if you are not experiencing a disorder as such, this creative sanctuary is open to all. I have a genuine love for drawing cute scenes and capturing personal dreams and goals through my artwork. I also love depicting the changing seasons in my art so feel free to watch this website bloom and change as the year progresses. 

I am so glad that you are here and thank you for taking an interest in this community. I wish you the best in your recovery journey.

Love Maria xxxx
