I have always liked painting but lost my way with it about 18 years ago.
Life hasn't been an easy road for me, I have had a life of ups and downs, but this has made me the person I am today.
In my teenage years I suffered with my mental health, and my paintings helped me through it.
I don't have much memory of painting them, only that the work exhausted me because of the emotions I poured out. I would usually only see what I had painted after sleeping.
My mental health had quite an effect on my education - I failed Maths and IT, however I submitted my paintings for my Art A-Level and it boosted my grade.
