Since the age of nine, NEG has had an experience of mental health issues. NEG took part in Prahran Mission’s Second Story program, as well as taking a place as an artist in Stables Studio. She has undertaken a Writing and Editing course at RMIT, as well as various art therapy sessions. NEG has also undertaken classes in Oriental Ink Brush, “Which I love because I can paint tranquillity and in the doing feel some tranquillity myself”. She says that “[I feel] that people don’t know what it’s like to live with BPD and I think my work/writing shows something of that. I hope that people can learn from it.
