I'm Still Fighting

Oil paint on canvas with audio recording

Featuring Leon McKenzie

127 × 127 × 4 cm

Meet Leon McKenzie, one of the sitters for this body of work. His poignant words surround his struggles with depression and the stigma surrounding mental illness, particularly in the professional football/boxing culture. His honest words provide hope, and highlight the importance of being able to simply talk about it.

'It’s overwhelming. Andrea is such a credit with regards to what she’s trying to do; reach out to people, and tell these stories through art. The eyes don’t lie, the eyes tell a big, deep story and it’s a pleasure to be able to see that' — Leon McKenzie
