My Menopause paintings document the effects perimenopause had on both my mind and body and how I struggled to make sense of what was happening to me.
I try and describe in paint subjects such as the feeling of a hot flush, the complete and utter exhaustion of terrible insomnia. Mood swings that would result in periods of melancholy or sheer anger. Anxiety so bad that I wondered if I was able to get out of bed and face another day. My hope is that other women can identify with and make sense of their own feelings during this, often, difficult time.
