OCD: more than cleanliness or perfectionism, it involves intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that can deeply affect everyday life. It is also treatable, and recovery is possible.
Meet Clo reynolds
I’m a mixed media artist working in resin, printmaking, and digital art. My work is where punk meets fairy, blending flowers, cats, vintage paper, worn textures, found objects, and tiny treasures.
I love giving overlooked materials a second life through resin and print. After learning I had OCD in 2025 and beginning ERP therapy, I rediscovered my creativity and found my voice again. Recovery taught me to embrace uncertainty, and that freedom now shapes my art. My work celebrates nostalgia, resilience, and the magic hidden in imperfect things.

The Only Certainty in Life is Uncertainty.
I have always loved making art. Growing up shy and quiet, art became my way of communicating and making sense of the world. I found myself especially drawn to photography, as it gave me a way to connect my inner world with the world around me through images.
At 18, I was accepted early to University of the Arts London, with plans to study there and pursue my creative path. After graduating in 2020, those plans changed. I stayed stateside and went on to earn an Associate degree in Marketing and Communications from the Fashion Institute of Technology.
The years that followed were difficult. COVID had a profound effect on my mental health, and I became increasingly socially anxious. As time went on, the struggle grew until I eventually stopped making art and was no longer able to work.
Eventually, I reached a point where I knew something had to change. I discovered that I had OCD, and understanding what I had been experiencing changed the way I saw myself. I realized how far I had drifted from the person I once was. Slowly, I began rebuilding.
Today, I am making art again and rediscovering the creative voice I had lost. My work explores mental health, alienation, uncertainty, and the beauty hidden in overlooked and imperfect things. Art has become not only a way to communicate, but a way to reconnect with myself and the world around me.
