Biography

I am a Mental Health focused painter and my mission is to help others and Their Mental Health with my artwork. I aim to either uplift mood with the colourful and whimsical pieces that I create or to help people resonate with the story behind my darker colour themed pieces. I like a lot of my work to be able to tell a story, whether that be one from my experiences or one from the viewers mind. I paint with my heart on my sleeve and release my emotions into every piece. I call it 'mood painting'.

inspiration

My inspiration has been my own Mental Health. I started painting again in 2021 after being diagnosed with Postnatal Depression and BPD alongside already having Depression, anxiety & a chronic physical illness. Painting is an outlet for me and at times has saved me from a very dark place and if I can bring a smile to someone's face with my work and in particular if that someone is struggling themselves, then that will continue to inspire me and my creativity.

medium

I use watercolour, acrylics and oils and sometimes experiment with mixed media, adding pressed flowers into my work or layering mediums such as acrylic and oils, Watercolour and inks/gouache etc.
I paint in an expressive, whimsical & loose style (sometimes impasto and abstract if using acrylics/oils).
I like to use bright and 'happy' hues to help with my mission of uplifting the viewers mood but occasionally I paint with darker pigments to express how I'm feeling when mentally low, to capture and project my emotions into the painting.
