'I have a very complicated relationship with my art. I am, by nature or by trauma (or both) a competitive perfectionist type, with the added bonus of low self-esteem. So when I look at my art, I always think it’s not good enough. In some ways, it’s an accurate enough assessment. I never had good technical skills, even when I was practicing my art actively, and the appeal of my pieces have always been in their imagination. My art has typically been categorised as naïve art, sometimes even outsider art, depending on the piece, in ways that often make me feel self-concious. So, below are the caveats I present these pieces with. I can’t help it'
