Because of an antibiotic resistant bacteria, I became malnourished, dehydrated, and depleted of nutrients. I painted these watercolors while standing because sitting was too painful. I imagined healing, didn’t give up, and believed in miracles. 

Recovery from a traumatic brain injury was a slow process. My paintbrush literally saved my life, healed my brain, and still helps relieve daily migraines.  I relearned how to paint before relearning to read.

It is my hope to change the way people view mental health and brain injuries/diseases by sharing my story of hope and healing through watercolors.  Increased awareness leads to understanding, connection, and kindness.
