Krysia Denys

Krysia Denys is currently going into her second year of university as a Biological Sciences major and Psychology minor. Her interests include local events, mental and physical healthcare, and advocacy. She is also a long-time Polish folk dancer, with a love for the performative and visual arts. Over the past few months, Krysia has been picking up visual art again after a few years of other commitments, which has been facilitated by STEM Art Hub “Draw and Chat” events. She enjoys working with various media, including pastels and ink, and has made it a personal goal to draw, sketch, or doodle every day - after all, art is a great creative outlet for stress (and the first year of university is stressful under any circumstances)! The Art of Mindfulness has been a great opportunity to combine the return to art with mental health advocacy, while also contributing to the community by raising funds for the Mathison Centre for Mental Health.
