20 years ago Leisel made her first Olympic Games and would go on to making 3 more, winning 9 Olympic medals.
Leisel openly discusses her mental health battles in her book ‘Body Lengths’.
My portrait of Leisel aims to capture the sides of Leisel, the open and public side and the personal layer underneath that has fought some deeper battles.
My studies in this subject that reflect my own battles are on my Instagram page @kearnsyart
