Kathleen McVey

I am an artist working in Edinburgh, Scotland. My work encapsulates my own experience with bipolar disorder and mood dysregulation. I communicate and interrogate the complexities and extremities through a personal language of jarring mark-making and representational forms. My research explores the challenges of severe mental illness, creating a visual narrative of experiences with the intent to interact with and create a necessary dialogue around mental health to society at large. Exposing mental illness is a vital part in gaining public recognition, and addressing a vastly misunderstood community.
