I've discovered a wonderful artist from the UK. Lorraine was diagnosed with Catamenial Pneumothrax. She did something I thought was phenomenal. She morphed CP into art work! Check her works out on her website; I have included her link below.
Lorraine Ashley was born in Rochford, Essex in January 1974 and spent her childhood in
Southend-on-Sea. Ashley gained her independence early, leaving home at the age of sixteen.
She became a tailor, whilst continuing her artistic pursuits. “Ever since being a little girl I have always wanted to be an artist. Most kids would play outside with other kids. I would stop indoors and read, draw or deconstruct things to see how they were assembled.
Ashley's inquisitive and independent spirit manifests itself in her practice. Today Ashley is still creating, albeit using power tools and currently choosing slate as her favoured material.“My aim is to produce beautiful yet challenging work. I enjoy turning my life experiences into desirable art, by putting a highly aesthetic slant on ugly scenarios. I believe this approach creates a more engaging dialogue between myself and the viewer.”
Throughout her art, Ashley employs immaculate workmanship and sensitive use of materials. Equal value is placed on the conceptual and physical aspects of her art practice.
