The Anxiety Project includes over three hundred drawings, four graphic medicine publications in the Annals of Internal Medicine, and a live performance, all of which explore what it’s like to live with anxiety and depression, using a combination of personal experience and sustained research into the complex world of mental health. The intersections of art, science, and health are where I make creative work informed by research and scholarship. For me, it is in these spaces where important questions of aesthetics, ethics, and representation lead to sustained collaborations with other artists, scientists, health care professionals, and audiences.
