A Life of Art

About the Book

My reasons for producing this book is for having a lot of Art work hanging around that has been done for years about twenty years as a diary of my illness. The illness is Epilepsy with Psychosis. I have done plenty of writing also but thought it would be good idea to show my illness through art with some writing to go with the paintings. I am from an Irish family background Roman Catholic upbringing. Ten of us five girls, and three boys. I want to show that mental illness is an individual illness depending on your upbringing etc. My illness got worse after my teens and my main reasons that made my illness feel worse was my Catholic upbringing it made me have obsessions with Religion, Egyptians and Love. I’m now 48 years old writing this and am still quite ill as I’m trying to make this book and will be surprised if I see a result as a book produced at the end of this it will also be interesting to see if people would be interested.
