I might delete this later, but I wanted to share the reality behind my finished art on the grid, as an artist recovering from a brain injury with an ‘invisible illness’. Drawing was part of my physio to help still my shaking hands, but the shakes still like to make themselves known sometimes despite me trying to keep still.🙃
Before the brain injury, I had hands of steel & never a wobble as I painted our house walls in bold colours with no masking tape in sight 💪😆

I’ll be able to tidy this painting up, but it’s a good example to share the million little things that people with invisible disabilities deal with every day. What you see on the grid is just the highlights 😉
