It’s an honour to be one of the artists at the @rfq_mentalhealth mental health week exhibition & to be invited to their opening event.

It’s @qldmentalhealthweek & Henry loves to take time to look after himself by having a slow morning in his pyjamas, cuddling into his favourite blanket & having a big cup New York Breakfast Tea (or two). Henry knows self care is important! 🐢☕️ #qmhwtaketime #henrydays #henrydaze #mentalwellness #art #cartoonreallife #selfcare #tealover #turtle #turtleart @t2tea https://www.instagram.com/p/B25QYlKhG60/?igshid=mtr39htbodu1
