Profiad bywyd yn dylanwadu ar artistiaid

A ydych chi erioed wedi ystyried sut mae profiad bywyd artistiaid yn siapio eu celfyddyd? A yw gwybodaeth uniongyrchol am afiechyd meddwl yn dylanwadu ac yn llywio eu gwaith? A yw'n ei wneud yn fwy dilys? Pa fath o effaith mae'r wybodaeth hon yn ei chael ar ddefnyddwyr eu celf? Ymunwch â ni am drafodaeth grŵp ar y pwnc hwn, lle byddwch chi'n clywed gan sawl artist sydd oll wedi byw gyda salwch meddwl.
