Sophie Birdwood is a London-based artist, specialising in abstract paintings that often hint at cityscapes, with her work often exhibited at the Royal College of Art. As she continues, slowly but inexorably, to lose her peripheral vision due to a degenerative disease called retinitis pigmentosa, she's had to reassess both her life and her art.

Sophie talks movingly about the mental health challenges she has faced throughout her life, all the while sustaining an inspiringly positive outlook.
