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.
"Then basically during the pandemic, I went from painting just in the evenings to starting my Instagram account. She instead focussed on the events that have shaped the history of the island of Ireland the impact they have left."I'm very proud about being from here and I love the kind of hardened exterior of the people and landscape here.
"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.
