signs (2020) Photography by Gee Shepherd

I have ADHD, social anxiety disorder and high functioning autism. My art is a means of confronting and controlling these disorders. I have actually been creative since my early childhood, with all the psychological baggage that is associated with this. In my teens I wrote performance pieces exploring my life, social problems and idiosyncrasies and after this I created small personal environments.  Much later still I began to use photography and the digital manipulation of images as my main creative tools; my own body usually being the subject matter. These works are a record of life and a celebration of the self.

I subscribe to the concept that the artist not only creates art but is art. As such I am probably now an antique!
