I Created An A – Z Of Beautiful Words Using My Paintings To Illustrate Them

Over the last couple of years I have created a large collection of watercolour paintings, this was my way of dealing with depression and severe anxiety. Painting was my coping mechanism along with a healthy lifestyle, counselling and the support of my beautiful family. It took me hundreds of hours, possibly even thousands to develop my own style and to become confident with creating my ideas.

I became obsessed with painting every day and with researching unusual words from different languages around the world. I then matched each word with different paintings creating my A – Z of beautiful words from around the world!
