![March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.
Endometriosis is a chronic, life long condition with no cure which can significantly impact quality of life, causing severe pain, infertility, chronic fatigue and more. I have struggled with this disease for most of my 20s. I have been ignored, told it was in my head, misdiagnosed and had several doctors and a nurse laugh at me.
As well as endometriosis I also have Adenomyosis. Adenomyosis has similar symptoms but there is a cure - hysterectomy. Having both “endo” and “adeno” is a complex and very painful medical battle, especially as there is a lack of awareness and knowledge surrounding both conditions.
On the outside I seem fine, a human walking and smiling, however on the inside I’m grieving. From ages 19- present I have experienced extreme pain and flare ups. Not just your bad cramp, or sensitive tummy but the kind of torment where you can’t move.
For nearly 10 years, I have found myself battling a system that cared very little about my body or women’s bodies in general. I found myself losing hope, arguing with nurses, friends and herself. Wearing a mask, trying to keep going through the day without letting these disease take anymore from my life.
If you know someone with Endometriosis. Give them a hug. Tell them you believe them and when they cancel out of nowhere, it’s not out of nowhere. They’re probably unable to move & on a tonne of medication just to get through the day.
Here’s to my endo girlies, we live in pain & we are so strong. ❤️?]()

Finally everything is moving, shifting, becoming.Button - STOP HOLDING IT WITHIN Oil on canvas, 180×120 cm, 2026 On view at BLEUR Gallery as part of Pretty Little Fears, a new body of work responding to anxiety and OCD. 12–26 January. This painting reflects the toll of prolonged containment, and what happens when fear, intrusive thought, and anxiety are held inside for too long. Identity begins to thin under pressure. We question: Am I losing the parts of myself I once knew well and not I don’t know at all?Button
