Lorna Collins

Lorna Collins is an artist, filmmaker, writer and arts educator. She once had a severe traumatic brain injury, which left her unresponsive and in a coma. Lorna was then incarcerated in mental asylums for nearly two decades. Now, art and writing feed her life. She worked in academia for several years, following her PhD at Jesus College, Cambridge University. Lorna has written and edited several philosophy books, including her monograph, Making Sense: Art Practice and Transformative Therapeutics, published by Bloomsbury. A journalist, Lorna has written articles for The Guardian, The Independent and The British Medical Journal. She now pursues a creative career, and lives on a farm in Buckinghamshire with a horse, a dog and a cat, surrounded by lots of birds.
