About the Artist
I am a 29 year old, self-taught, Irish, visual artist, currently residing between the small town of Badajoz, Spain and the metropolis of Dallas, Texas. I have worked in the area of mental health for over a decade, but now share my fascination with the mind, the unusual, and the whimsical through art. I firmly believe that art is a lifelong, limitless, learning opportunity and a medium for self-exploration and communication. I am inspired by the people, words, and textures of life around me and hope to share this excitement with you through my art.
I #livetotell my personal journey through OCD and anxiety and the positive, healing power of art. Through my art I want to start a dialogue of mental health awareness and the destigmatisation of sharing our perceived vulnerabilities.
