Trying desperately to progress as an artist is endless frustration when your #chronicillness keeps knocking you down. But I keep getting up again because art gives me purpose and joy.

This is my #chronicillness companion Bambi, keeping me company during a pain flare enforced bedrest day.
She's always happy to help. 😺🧡💤

I made a little card for my therapist who's been supporting me through 8 years of #Chronicillness grief.
Apparently I am my own worst critic.
Is it perfect, no. Is it made with love & gratitude, yes.

True. In fact now they own everything.

A painting from a couple of years ago.
Oil on board using palette knives.
This was a 21st birthday gift for my son. ❤️ Made with love.

View from my garden first thing this morning looking towards to sea.
It really was this purple!

One of my painting from last year.
I wish I could paint all day, every day. But #chronicillness restricts activity to the bare minimum most days. Every painting becomes a study in the refusal to give up creativity.

New here. Hope to share my art & my #MEcfs journey.
Gently does it & never let go of hope.
