The Noteworthy Muse

Art is my meditation and my soul’s release, my brain’s challenge and the expression of emotion.

I’m a very private, neurodivergent introvert who has struggled with many things over the years but found some peace and solace in art after my husband passed in 2012. We had a controversial life together but he made me feel that I was truly the centre of someone’s universe. Losing him made me feel lost and unloved. I delved into art as a means to connect to him because he was an amazing artist.

I only found out in the last few years that I am neurodivergent. I would like to make the path easier for my children and grandchildren as some have a brain that functions similar to mine. I want their lives to be less stressful than mine has been and to not feel broken because they think differently to the majority.

The self expression I found in my art allows me to celebrate my neurodiversity rather than being shamed by my differences. Exploring art allowed me to heal in a meditative manner and that exploration built bravery to move out of my comfort zone and grow, both personally and artistically.
