Animation, art and creativity by Natalie Priest. I'm Neurodiverse and focus on lively characters and I love bright, bold colours. I have an MA In Animation. I also experience some mental health Issues.
I love to film videos about my life and photography.
Happy New Year 2026. 👍🎊
For this year I want to do art work and creative work more regularly and often.
Doing drawings, painting and get back into animation too.
I also want to continue with the therapy sessions and see how that can improve things in my life. I'm hopeful but still a bit afraid.

I attended DaisyFest In Guildford. I was happy to have my art work at the Daisy Chain Connections exhibition.
I was surprised and very happy that my art work was brought by someone, I sold my artwork at the exhibition! 😀
It encourages me to keep being creative and that my life path on this Earth.

I had my 6th session of therapy this week. It's seems to be going well and I enjoy the bus journey there and back now. 👍 Been focusing on mindfulness, meditation and help with anxiety and how to have self compassion. Which is something I struggle with. So I'm a bit more hopeful for the future.

I've been struggling with anxious feelings lately and like I'm tense and can't relax. But I'm seeing my therapist tomorrow so I'm focused on doing the mindfulness and meditation homework. Hopeful the more I can do this homework the more It can help me. Usually by the evening I feel more relaxed. 👍

This year has been a tough year for me. I've struggled with my mental health and have worried more about my future.
I've had relapses this year and sensory overload has been a problem more.
I've recently started seeing a therapist and I hope she can help improve my mental health, even a little bit.

It's been a while since I've done a post.
Here Is some art work I've recently done at The Frimley & Camberley Society of Art.
I'm going to be starting some therapy soon and hope It can help some of my struggles, especially my problems with social anxiety and recurring fears around sensory overwhelm.

I'm happy to be part of another magazine. This one Is Attention Seekers zine, It's the first issue. 😀

I feel now that I've recovered from the Schizoaffective Disorder relapse I suffered with in May- June. The fear has gone and I feel hopeful about my future. Still worried the fear could return.

It's been a while since I've done a post on here, but I'm only just recovered from a Schizoaffective Disorder relapse.
I was part of the Evoking Connections art exhibition In Guildford High Street.
I was proud to be part of another art exhibition and get my art work out there again to the world. 😀

Here's more art work I've done this year. 😃
I've had a dip in my mental health recently, but feel proud of myself, I'm managing It better and getting It under control before It gets worse.
I seem to have more Insight Into the early symptoms, before It can deteriorate like It used to do In the past.

This year I've been doing more art work, compared to last year. 🙂

I feel I want to focus this year on art work and have more of a break from focusing on film projects, this took up a bit part of my creative energy last year.
I aim to start doing animation again, making animations on my iPad. 😀

I've not had a Swatch watch for several years and this version Is a Keith Haring one. Keith Haring Is one of my favourite artists.
I got Interested In him and his work back In 2000 when I was doing my A Levels.

Hello, here's my first post on Bluesky.
I'm keen to get away from the negativity of Twitter/X and move onto this platform more. 🙂
