"I have recently made a website with art on it that I think might be of support to those with the disease. I have had Crohn's Disease since I was 13 and it is quite aggressive in my case - I have had most of my intestines removed and replaced with an ileostomy.
I haven't let it stop me and I have striven hard to continue with my degree in Modern Languages, study abroad and create art for everyone's enjoyment and also as a way of purging my anger and frustration at having this incurable condition.
I have tried to subvert the anger into humorous images that can uplift and entertain; other images are purely about anger and pain, but in any case it might give others ideas on how they might be able to overcome it."
