Laura Greenway, United Kingdom

Part of the ‘Mood Paintings’ series, this piece was created on a day where I was struggling with panic attacks and extreme anxiety. The series saw me using painting as a outlet for my emotions, creating small gestural paintings that used colour to express my mood, as well as allowing me to focus on my mindfullness exercises whilst painting that were taught to me as part of my therapy for severe OCD.
