I’m Fine

Mixed media on board

As an artist who has lived most of my life with chronic illness due to auto-immune issues, I rely on art for my own healing. It has literally saved my life. Art and creativity helped me gain more insight into myself, decreased my stress, and it changed my relationship to my illness and pain into one of transformation, possibility, and hope.
