Photosensitive Epilepsy & Nature was inspired after a recent four-day in-patient hospital stay for a continuous 24-hour video electroencephalogram (VEEG).

The painting reflects my experience when driving down a road and the sunlight breaks through the leafless trees.  The reflected strobe-like colors from the broken CD, change depending on the angle of light, like the sun breaking through the trees. These are representative of the shades of colors I experience with the auras prior to my seizures.  Although it is beautiful to look at, the lights evoke a seizure.
