Faces of Dyslexia - Alice Hutchinson

My Shadow Sister

Alice Hutchinson

My name is Alice and dyslexia has been a defining feature of my life. My love of the arts has seen me work as a painter, musician, and now, professional photographer. I have overcome many of the challenges I faced with dyslexia and now I can enjoy some of the benefits of seeing the world through a unique lens. This image is titled, My Shadow Sister. It's the first oil painting I have done in over ten years.

Alice is not entering the People's Choice award but you can still donate if you like her portrait by clicking the donate now button.
