He is a Council Member, Regional Co-ordinator and representative to the National Network for Arts in Health for the British Association of Art Therapists, and contributes to the development of the arts in health nationally. Here, he is seen worrying that his horns might be visible.

She co-represents BAAT with NNAH is a practising and exhibiting artist. She wishes she had a tail.

Andrew Clements.
ANDREW CLEMENTS originally trained as an economist and worked for many years in the entertainment industry until he became aware of the inner life and developed an interest in archetypal psychology. He has a psychotherapeutic practice in Devon. For some years he has been engrossed in the theory and practice of training for suicide awareness and suicide intervention strategies. He is now trying to write some of it down. He is Secretary of the Champernowne Trust and the Annual Summer Course Co-ordinator. He declines, whenever possible, to have his soul captured by photographs.

Insider Arts
'If artists, rather than scientists, wrote diagnostic manuals of mental disorder, one might see 'disorders' like 'pathologically middle of the road personality disorder', or 'emotional blandness'; 'insufficient fantasy life'; 'arts aversion'; 'reality obsession' or 'aspirtual personality'.
