Artist Anna told Belfast Live though that despite her head winning the day when it came to choosing medicine, her heart never stopped yearning for a more creative outlet

Anna McKeever is fresh off the adrenaline of a hugely successful 'Anam' exhibition of her paintings, her first such display.

"I worked in psychiatry for five years and I found myself increasingly disillusioned prescribing medications for people where I felt medication was trying to fix something which is fundamentally a non-medical issue," she added."The problem was you're basically prescribing medication for lifestyle or social problems and that didn't sit very well with me.

"Painting for me has always been a very grounding experience, it's always made sense, it's not something I've ever had to force, which sometimes medicine was," she said.
