Navigating Neurodivergence & Chronic Fatigue as an Emerging Artist! 🎨

Dealing with Overwhelm and Injury: My Artistic Journey
Hi everyone, I wanted to give you an update on my current situation. Lately, I've been dealing with overwhelming challenges and falling behind on many things. Despite enjoying some rest and painting when possible, my wrist and hand have been steadily getting worse. This video might seem a bit depressing, but it's just the reality I'm facing.
Exciting Upcoming Events:
Solo Show: March 7th - 12th at Centre Space Gallery
Showcasing the light and dark, struggles and triumphs.
Commission: Next week, celebrating the vibrant city of Bristol.
Life isn't all rainbows. There are moments of wonder and joy, but also significant struggles. I want to share both the existential and physical challenges I face, as well as the happiness art brings me.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your continued support. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more insights into my journey as a neurodivergent artist.

Artist Chris Shopland takes you on a journey through footage of an exhibition, his dog Ralph playing with angel and demon two of his friends dogs he walks in the week; and has a heart to heart with you his followers about what’s been going on (mostly in his nervous system ) and the overwhelm he has been experiencing. Without art to help understand his mind while his hand heals from art related repetitive stain Chris is struggling. Along with housework and general upkeep of art storage and everyday living.
“I don’t want to appear weak and failing as a human but there are some days, weeks, months or even years that I struggle and am in survival mode”
Candid honest sit down and talk; art can reflect every aspect of an artists life and Chris is no different! So there will be artworks depicting the up and downs of being a neurodivergent artist. Art as a journal of what is happening in Chris’ life while creating some “cool awesome” artwork to showcase this. Often these artworks have a deeper meaning behind them, even if some are just because they felt good to make and end result looked good, most of the time however Chris’ art is emotion drive .

@@tylerbutler7398 thanks Tyler means a lot! Feel I’ve lost the knack for this video thing or maybe never had it but connecting with people while showing my art is what it’s about 🥰
