Can’t wait to see @zoeisabellakravitz as the new Cat Woman! It’s Monday but it’s half term so I have all four kiddiwinks at home, one of whom has been up all night with a sickness bug 🤢😩😭 So looks like today will be a day for lighting the log burner and watching films 🎥 We also have a decision to make as we went to see a puppy yesterday 🙈 Part of me thinks it would be great for the kids to have a dog around the house again but then I also think would we be mad to add more chaos into the mix??! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 @zoeisabellakravitz #catwoman #catwomanart #comicart #superheroart #artists_insta #artistsoninstagram #arttherapy #artformentalhealth #supportartists #interiorart #darkdecor #darkinteriors #artwork #artworkforsale #newartist #newart

“I express myself with color as a way of managing my mental health; it’s not just a job or an interest, it’s part of my self-care routine and keeps me grounded when the dark storms in my head threatened to carry me away,” the artist shared with Bored Panda and added that her husband pushed her to start painting again.

If you scroll through her Instagram page you will see colorful portraits, because as she says, she finds faces and the way they portray emotions so captivating.

“Eyes truly are the windows to the soul. I also love painting with color, which is ironic really seeing as I am often plagued by the darkness of depression. But being creative really helps me and together with a host of other coping mechanisms the foggy days are becoming more bearable,” she wrote on her personal website.

Davey is currently open for commissions, so if you are interested in her work, check out the gallery below.
