Inspired by portrait artist Tahlia Stanton, I decided to paint a series of surreal self-portraits. Surreal self-portraits are one of my favorite subjects to draw, so I was really excited when I started painting. There were two paintings that came before the one I'm submitting, one of which I had decided to re-paint in a more stylized, expressive way. The result is the piece I'm submitting now.

Visual art, especially painting, significantly helps me with self regulating. Both because it lets me express myself and because I can do it in a calm, quiet environment. Painting, in particular, allows me to be bold and confident in pretty much the only way I can be.
