I am an English, surreal artist who paints images of physical, mental and sexual abuse in a most visceral and direct way. I am an intransigent protagonist who fights on behalf of victims and survivors of abuse to aid their personal recovery, to jolt the apathy of society and enlighten those who impose secondary victimization, which can be as painful as the abuse itself. My work is used in teaching programs to further understanding and insight into the whole spectrum of abuse and as an inspiring facet in helping abuse victims in group therapy.
Now, I share my memoirs with the world, the story that inspired forty two paintings,that were hidden for a decade, which documented my early life of abuse,the emotional impact and subsequent consequences, followed by my recovery, resiliency and my advocation of both child and adult abuse.
