Art x Neurodivergent Synergy Series

The Artist in Her Own Words: 

My work draws on experiences of interconnectedness - personal, social, environmental, scientific, digital - and their psychological impact. I have been affected by issues of neurodiversity, because both of my children are neurodiverse and are still living at home in their early twenties. My daughter has OCD, ADD, BDD and anorexia (in remission, but she still has serious issues around protein intake for muscle building etc.). My son has had a number of issues since childhood, including ADHD and anxiety. There have been many challenging times during their adolescence. Throughout I have supported and cared for them. Art has given me a creative outlet from my own worries and helped to distract me from anxiety about my children’s future.
