ABOUT THE PROJECT
“In the midst of the chaos that comes with being alive I have experienced tough moments trying to balance a decline in my mental health with showing up everyday, as adulthood demands. This series serves as a reminder to myself, of my ambitions and my consistent refusal to surrender to the hardships life has sent my way.
In the depth of dark shadows, bursts of colour symbolise my unyielding determination to find the flicker of hope, the unwavering spirit that declares, "I will thrive." This life-long/on-going series is a testament to the strength that emerges when confronted with life's challenges, a visual anthem celebrating the tenacity to live fully, even in the face of adversity. The canvas of my journey is far from complete. I must continue to be resilient in moving forward and living life as best as I can, before I die.
My plan is to create ‘Don’t You Want to Live Before You die?’, a project of my personal journey back to good health, developing my practice and exploring mixed media paintings with a short film. I want people to see that it’s okay to struggle, that realistically healing isn’t linear, that there ‘really’ is a light at the end of the tunnel, that it doesn’t always have to end in ending your life.”

Vanessa Endeley
Vanessa Endeley is a visual artist whose captivating creations are a fusion of contemporary art and profound introspection. Her focus is on the exploration of the human experience and the essence of existence itself, with her pieces often evoking a sense of profound emotional depth, inviting viewers to dive into the layers of her artistry and explore the human psyche. Through the interplay of bold brushstrokes, delicate lines, and a rich colour palette, she creates visually compelling and emotionally charged pieces that leave an indelible impression on the observer's mind. As an artist who values vulnerability, she fearlessly expresses her innermost vulnerabilities and insecurities, allowing viewers to connect with her on a profoundly personal level. This unyielding passion for self- expression led her to pursue formal artistic training at the University of the Arts London, refining her techniques and honing her artistic voice.
