This painting represents who I am as a person and artist. Although epilepsy is a huge part of my life, I strive not to let it define who I am as a person.

This was not the first painting-related seizure I've experienced, but I typically manage to put my brushes down first. However, this time it was all captured on the canvas. I returned to it the following day, to make sense of the painting, so a lot of it is painted over, but there are obvious marks still visible. The turmoil that was in my head that day actually looks quite beautiful when given some order.

The painting will be sent wrapped in glassine paper to protect the front, corner protectors held on by cling wrap, encased in a waterproof bubble wrap and packaged in double-walled cardboard.

If I can use my art to promote awareness (getting people to stop and think for a second) and raise money for desperately needed research into neurological illnesses, I consider myself blessed.

That’s why I feel there’s a lot of hope in this painting too.

Annette Aspen is a self-taught mixed media artist, epilepsy advocate, retired BBC World Service studio manager, wife and mother living and painting in Royal Tunbridge Wells Kent. 

Annette's practice is strongly linked to her neurological condition, as she narrates her emotional rollercoaster through colour and texture onto canvases of varying sizes.  Abstract painting allows her the freedom to express herself honestly and openly, with no judgement.  Annette explains that hand tremors and double vision, can sometimes enhance the piece and you'd never know, unlike if she were attempting to draw still life! 

Annette says that she is certain her 'broken brain', as she calls it, directly affects how she paints, and that she can tell which of her paintings were created before, after and even during a seizure. In her work Annette is trying to break out of the stereotype that is attached to this hidden illness, yet embracing the fact that it’s because of her epilepsy that she discovered art therapy and changed her way of life. 

Annette's paintings are colourful journeys full of emotion; optimism, inspiration and honesty. She invites the viewer to share in a release of any negativity, just as each painting afforded her in their creation.

Her works have caught the eye of collectors from Aberdeen to Totnes, and have regularly appeared on beer cans at a microbrewery in Pennsylvania since 2021.

Painting what affects her visually and emotionally Annette hopes that she might inspire others who are living with a disability and raise some awareness of her own condition.  She donates 20% of all her artwork sales to The National Brain Appeal to go towards epilepsy research, and would like you to know that, by supporting her, you are helping to make a difference.
