Nyla Morton
Nyla's
Voice
"I have always found solace in the idea that when words were not enough, I could use art as my voice. As a child I struggled navigating complex issues in my life, finding art to be my escape from reality but also an outlet for creative expression. What had started as a childish love for crafts has now evolved into a deeper form of expression and meditation. It has become a tool for me to dive into complex ideas and emotions that sometimes fail to come across in words."
