Summary of Project:
“Follow Soula’s pain journey through her artwork and strings of her self portrait marionette. The book, Art & Chronic Pain – Self Portrait is a culmination of fine art, design and personal experience with the chronic pelvic pain issue, Pudendal Neuralgia. Self expression and the ability to extract it in a creative form can be an incredible catharsis, and in this case has also produced an overwhelming artistic piece of work. The limited edition cover has personally attached strings, the inside presenting Soula’s drawings and her artworks, including her Doug Moran Portrait Painting Prize semi-finalist piece.”
