Who both live with the same disability called cerebral palsy. Tom and Annika are both passionate about creating art and uses many different types of mediums throughout their artworks.
This exhibition is about promoting creativity while overcome challenges that we both have. Thought out various stages of our physical or mental disadvantages. Art is the one thing that make us feel, like we can escape our disabilities.
One of Annika current artistic style is impressionism forms of creative storytelling and Tom’s is more inspire by abstractionism and tactile creativeness.
The two Artist in this showcase are in the middle of many things. One’s family, our friendship’s and the journey to support other to be more venerable and to listen to the their inner child, which wants to just create!.
Our subject Matter for this exhibition would be around Plants, Trees and Nature which is round us and we think this is important in the life that we are living.
Our Collaboration showcase painting will be a wonder of colour and the mark making will not just be with our finger and hand but with our noses as well. ( ANNIKA STRAND & THOMAS DOYLE)

"Brave & Bold" By Thomas Doyle

Water Colour on Archival Paper
A4 8-1/4 x 11-3/4 in 210 x 297 mm
Brave and Boldrepresents Thomas’s belief in connecting to forces around him to carry him through the hard times. “Often when you think you are at the end of something, you are at the beginning of something else. In the past whenever I had fallen short in almost any undertaking, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was because I let the fear of failure stop me from trying at all.”
"Blue Bass" By Thomas Doyle

Muitl Directional ( A1) 23-3/8 x 33-1/8 in 59.4 x 84.1 cm
In this experimental abstraction Thomas unleashes an intensely beautiful landscape. Through brush strokes and colour techniques this maelstrom of movement is created by blending and layering resulting in a uniquely abstracted but strongly emotional space.
