‘The Monsters Are Alive, is a stunningly poignant sequence of artworks, that tell the story of struggles with mental wellbeing, sorrow, memory, and new freedom. In this profoundly intimate telling - my works take you through memories and stories accompanied by stunning painted masked monsters that guide you through my fragile wellbeing. The works explore themes of the feeling of invisible and despair that come when we are no longer able to feel well.
