Nebula Painting

I am a self-taught disabled artist: my art focuses on colourful atmospheric, emotion-filled, vivid abstract paintings in oils and acrylics. I found her passion for painting while recovering from two life-changing strokes and open-heart surgery at 26. Art has remained a significant part of my life ever since. Painting gives me purpose, through my abstract artwork I express my emotions, mood and my journey as a person with invisible disability. My creative life has been a positive influence on my health and general well-being ever since my strokes, my sanctuary during the challenging times. My passion for painting continues to grow, I get great satisfaction in improving my artistic skills and exploring different painting practices. As a result, in recent years my work has evolved and blossomed into something that I immensely proud of and excited to share with the world. I now have the great privilege of sharing everything I have learnt along the way with young creatives with additional learning needs and disabilities as a part-time art and life skills tutor at one of Birmingham's biggest FE colleges. Showing them the beneficial nature of practising art and the joy of finding a voice in creativity.
