Visual Art – Portland
My super power is finding images within the abstract paintings I create. I am self taught and creating art is my way of practicing self care. I am a strong advocate for those of us who struggle daily with our mental illness. Two years ago I was hit by devastation so great it tried to kill me. I stopped painting, listening to music, eating, brushing my teeth or getting out of my pajamas. During my stay at the hospital I was encouraged to participate in the art therapy class. It brought me back to myself and eventually out of my suffering. I survived. I thrived. It was my art that saved me.
Thanks for reading. Be kind to everyone you encounter.
