Mighty Member since March 2017
I was a second year medical student, when I met with an accident and was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury, TMJ disorder, and fibromyalgia. My life was forever changed. Learning to function with mental health issues and chronic illness has been a uphill battle. I found art to be a great therapeutic outlet. I began painting to raise awareness for these issues. It became a great way to explain abstract or subjective issues, as well as connect with others who were, or are, experiencing very similar issues. Each painting has an inspiration behind it, and is linked to the artwork! I also advocate for mental health and chronic illness through blog posts, articles and social media.
