My name is Chassie, and I live with schizoaffective disorder. In the past, I was shy, depressed, and felt disconnected from others. I often based my self-worth on how I looked. But coming to ADS and being around others has helped me feel more connected and open. I’m now in recovery because I’ve learned to own my abilities, my choices, my art, and my voice.
My grandmother was a big influence on my art, and through self-determination, I’ve grown as an artist. Each step I take in my art brings me closer to a brighter future, and having my work featured in the Capital Showcase is a big part of that. Art has allowed me to express my skills in everything from Disney characters to nature and sketches.
