My winning entry was a 4 x 6" watercolour entitled "Menacing Mosquito". The theme of this annual Art Awards was "Imagining Pain", and I decided to represent my multiple pain types - from a rare disease called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome - as a mosquito constantly buzzing around. Of course, chronic pain is much worse, buzzing its way into your mind and intruding in your thoughts; making it difficult to concentrate, whether at school, at work, at rest, or even painting!
