About Nina Haigh Creative

At some point in our lives we have all either felt alone and in the darkness or have encountered darkness within ourselves. This darkness, while uncomfortable and at times difficult, is a part of the human experience we all face. “I create bold and colorful abstract art that often glows in the dark or glows under backlights because I needed a way to illuminate the darkness in my own life. I also create this art in hopes that I might help shed some light into the lives of others or inspire them to make their own light for their lives. Light has become my guide, my mission and my medium” Willow is a survivor of childhood trauma and neglect and a survivor of human trafficking. Art has always been a tool of expression for Willow since childhood. Now in their early 40s, it has once again become a vital tool for their mental health during a time of their life that is consumed by the trauma healing of the deep wounds left by their abusers. “I also work with different elements to create accessible accessories. These are tools like chewelry, earplug earrings, fidgets and more that are intended to help with sensory regulation and processing. Being a neurodivergent person and trauma survivor has made navigating the world challenging for me and I know I am not alone. I make these accessible accessories to show others that self accommodation is possible and a powerful tool but also that these tools can be fun, stylish and cute.” Willow lives in the wilderness of rural southern QuebecRead their story
