EXCITING NEW PROJECT
BEING SEEN
Personal trauma can be devastating and taboo. My Twisted Rose & Other lives exhibition in 2019 translated deeply personal trauma stories into art.
This year supported by With-You I will be exploring this journey further. Looking at art's role in unlocking trauma and facilitating recovery.
I will be painting some the people I have painted before, reflecting on how their stories have evolved, as well as working with new subjects.
The new paintings will be exhibited at the Institute for Mental Health, Nottingham in November and then across the country in 2025. I will also be working with Kate Enters and the team at ArtCan and TD360 to create an amazing immersive virtual exhibition..
FUNDING
In order to help fund this project I have created a series of limited edition prints of paintings inspired by recovery and hope. These are available PRINTS page
I am also looking for commercial sponsorship, and additional exhibition opportunities. Please contact me with any suggestions or to find out more.
Limited Editions of 25 prints per painting, shipped globally.
