Exploring themes of invisible disability, dreams, and fantasy, I have used range of surrealist techniques to create this painting. I initially used 'automatic' drawing to create the imagery within the piece, which I later worked into with colour and paint. Using automatic painting and drawing allows for a more free and creative method of painting, and allows for the unlocking of unconscious thought. I use bold colours and humour to make light of dark themes, and to bring joy to the viewer.

The Deep Escape 

This painting was created during the second half of the Covid-19 lockdown. Using surrealist techniques, I used my dreams and nightmares as an inspiration for this piece. The piece also reflects on my experiences of mental and physical illness, exploring themes of being detached from oneself, and in mourning for ones former self. I use paint as a from of escapism, and to create a colourful surreal world that is far beyond my reality.
