When learning my artistic style, I was also learning myself. I was learning how to separate myself from trauma and process my childhood. Painting was how I found my voice and began healing. A nod to my dusty grey hoodie stage, I was to begin the process of acceptance of my past and what it looked like to finally move on and let it go. Therapy opened up my world. It allowed me to address my childhood truama in a way I never thought I would be able to. I was able to acknowledge the darkest parts of my past but realize the beauty that had been born from it. No matter what I've battled I have found a way to keep going in life.
