Dooney, 34, has had bipolar disorder since she was 16. Despite that, by 2007 she was selling her trademark hyper-coloured enamel paintings for more than $20,000 through Christie's in London. And she was the only female artist under 30 with work held by the famous auction house. This year she was supposed to have three big shows of new work in Melbourne, Sydney and Los Angeles, but in April admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital.Her father died and she was creatively stuck. She had also published an extraordinarily brutal and cathartic essay called Broken detailing the ''manipulative paedophile'' high school teacher who seduced her in year 11 and introduced her to drugs. This, she says, ended in depression and an eating disorder.

ok new discovery and im so thankful for this one. HAZEL DOONEY. an australian artist whos paintings are filled with strong sexual and political imagery. my personal favies are those large enamel on canvas or timber that challenge media driven stereotypes of women. i like the dangerous career babes series and fighting self vs self girls.
