Kate was labelled as ‘mentally ill’ since she was a kid. She despised this label. It meant that something was wrong with her. At the age of 17, she was finally diagnosed with ‘Schizophrenia’ when her condition was getting worse.
Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental condition. It can hamper people’s interaction with reality itself. But with Kate’s natural propensity towards art, it only amplified the way she drew and painted things.
And like any natural artist, she took the mental condition in her stride and painted her life as she saw it from the eyes of a schizophrenic. The art is amazing, to say the least.
