The second in my Sisyphus series - meltdown words. Mixed media acrylic & inks on canvas. This piece seeks to express the overwhelm experienced when supporting a child through challenging mental illness, the fear of them not hearing and feeling your support.

This is the first in my most recent completed series of paintings. Sisyphus 1 - The Shattering. Mixed media, oil, acrylic & inks on canvas. I’m in the final stages of framing and am looking for a suitable space to exhibit all 21 painting together.
