About Me:

I am a resilient and dedicated individual who has transformed my experiences of childhood sexual abuse, into a powerful catalyst for healing, empowerment, and creative expression. I have walked a path that has tested my strength, self-worth, and self-love. Yet from the darkness of my experiences, I have discovered the evolutionary and healing power of art. I have found my voice, a way to heal, and a means to empower not only myself, but others who have faced similar challenges. My story is one of reclaiming my narrative, using my experiences to fuel my creativity, and inspiring hope and healing to those around me. The "IV" in my logo is a symbol of how art has been my lifeline, and it can be yours too.

My Journey:

Growing up I struggled to find the words to articulate the pain and confusion I endured as a result of the abuse. The road to recovery was not straightforward; it was a labyrinth of emotions, self discovery, and a full rebuild of who I though I was. Painting, drawing, and creating became more than just mere hobbies. They were my therapy, my self-expression, my lifeline. Through my art I began to confront the demons that haunted me. I could express the emotions I was unable to verbalize, that had been locked inside the vault of my mind. Through art, I could rebuild my sense of self-worth and find peace.
Art has been a constant companion through my life. It allowed me to externalize my pain, to visualize my strength, and to communicate in a way that transcends words. Each piece I create is an indication to my resilience, and affirmation of my survival, and a beacon of hope for those who are still finding their way. My art is not just about ME; it is about the collective US. About the survivors who are still in the shadows that need a reminder that they are not alone, and that there can be beauty in healing.

Breaking the Silence:

For years I carried the unbearable weight of my abuse in silence, afraid to speak out, afraid to be seen. But as I grew older, I realized that my silence was not only suffocating me, but also perpetuating a culture of shame and a stigma that surrounds survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I knew it was time to break free from the silence, to shatter the chains that bound me to my past. My art is a medium that has allowed me to express the depths of my emotions, to process my trauma, and to transform my pain into something beautiful and meaningful.

Connect with Me:

I envision a world where survivors are believed, supported, and celebrated for their strength and adaptability. Through my art and my story, I hope to contribute to a broader conversation about healing, recovery, and the power of art. I believe we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to heal, grow, and THRIVE.
