A multidisciplinary artist with a thirty-year career in the visual arts, Kim Percy's exhibition and series of new paintings, photographs, videos, and digital works, focus on the nexus of creativity and academic research through the lens of dyslexic thinking.

By examining connections between dyslexia and creativity, Percy not only highlights typical dyslexic strengths, such as pattern recognition, visual-spatial awareness and problem-solving but also exposes the misunderstood neurodiverse coping mechanism of concealment and masking.

A unique body of work, that illuminates the real and lived experience of dyslexia, Percy also expresses the personal challenge of late diagnosis and its impact on artistic expression, while offering new ways to consider and understand cognitive difference.

Kim Percy is supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Stipend and RTP Fee-Offset Scholarship through Federation University Australia.
