Blobs

*Exhibition piece at A Space Between

This artwork was created during one of Chloe’s Art Therapy sessions. Inspired by the Art for Good mascot Blob, Chloe decided to have many multicoloured blobs in her painting. The blobs have different facial expressions which represent different feelings. Art making allows one to express many different emotions, which helps with self expression and emotion regulation. Most importantly, she has fun creating her art pieces!

Chloe has a rare disorder Spinal muscular atrophy type 2 (SMA2), which is a genetic neuromuscular disorder that affects the nerve cells that control voluntary muscles (motor neurons). She is wheelchair bound and has weak fine motor skills. She is aware she is different from other children, often feeling left out during physical education and sports activities. However, she maintains a positive outlook to life and has a love for art. She hopes that she is able to create art that people would love and that they will buy her artwork!
