The Coastline

Watercolor

Through illness, the career I chose came to an end, and the life I was living met a crossroads as I needed to undergo two life-saving brain surgeries — 2.2cm of actual brain was removed. What seemed like a catastrophic loss afterward began to have clarity as my brain functioned in a completely new, artistic way. Art has not only been life-changing for me since 2018, it has been life-saving. It has been a gift that I am forever thankful to give. You are an artist. Find your gift!
