My Story
After twenty-one years of living with an Eating Disorder, I could no longer live in fear and hopelessness. I was tired and alone. Every day was a battle just to survive the day. All day long, the struggle would go back and forth, around and around…I was imprisoned and silenced.
The emotional dam broke and the drawings began to surge out. I allowed my powerful emotions to guide the pen, paint, or chalk. Madness, sadness, confusion, love, and hope inspired my colors and images. My emotions materialized into a reality as the colorful images emerged from the depths of my soul onto the paper.
I felt a true connection with these drawings because they mirrored my darkest feelings and gave me insight to my hidden self. Art as an expression has given me a sense of clarity in my mind and harmony in my soul.
Consequently, over the years of using drawing, painting, writing, and the present Collage work as my emotional outlet, I have produced over 100 pieces that illustrate my journey. My artwork is a visual diary of my progression through my anguish of self "imprisonment" to the present day of embracing my inner power. I hope that they may inspire or educate the importance of self-expression, so you may connect with your authenticity and experience an abundant life.
Please join me on an adventure that will help make all our lives worth living!
