30 x 24cm Giclée Art Print of one of my first oil paintings ‘Portrait of the Past’. Mickey mouse was my favourite toy as a child and he reminds me of childhood trauma. He is my shorthand for childhood trauma.

I painted this Mickey Mouse in flames with oil paint in a rush of emotion after starting at a new job, where I was doodling Mickey Mouse in my notebook all day. I knew I wanted to paint Mickey as I always had Mickey toys as a child. The burning flames represent childhood trauma and how toys are now tainted because I had so much childhood trauma.
