Lately I have been obsessed with self portraits of a more sexualized nature. These studies have come with a sort of, self acceptance and self love stance. Celebrating the body I inhabit, celebrating my unique form and seeing myself in many ways. Throughout my life, I have struggled with complex post-traumatic stress disorder from childhood trauma and psychosis diagnosis in 2016 in which I gained a significant amount of weight after being placed on medication. I struggled with substantial self-esteem issues, body dysmorphia, eating disorders and substance miss-use. Within the last two years of this global pandemic, something began to turn for me. I began attending therapy regularly, left a particularly toxic relationship and adopted meditation and yoga. And lots of art. I am now working towards my BA in Psychology to then achieve my MA in counselling. I hope to provide hope and support to those who weren't given particularly helpful tools to cope with the challenges in life. As a feminist I believe that women can be professional and share sexuality without shame or embarrassment nor be denied access to jobs for said sexuality. I want to be a leader in this concept by sharing my art!
