Peter Hulme
Art Therapy Co-Facilitator
Peter Hulme is a former marine and Warrior PATHH alumni. Peter has been an artist for his entire life, and he describes art as a release. “It was a way to get a lot of my fears and anxiety on the paper.” Peter says, “I didn’t care if people got it or not, because I knew why I had done it and at the end of the day you can just call it art and people won’t question you.” Peter says that that’s one of the most important things he wants people to understand about art, it’s all subjective. “The point of art is not to be Picasso, it’s something for you. It doesn’t have to be for other people and no one else has to see it.” Peter says, “you can do nearly anything you’re capable of doing and no one can say anything to you.”
