Since I was in elementary school, I dreamed of working for the biggest animation studio in America and took art classes during my middle and high school years to chase that dream.
Unfortunately, my past caught up with me, and I developed a list of life-changing illnesses, mental illnesses, and a tremor.
Despite that, I have worked hard with Individual therapy, group therapy, and medications to move forward. Integrea Mental Health was and still is my greatest guide on my journey to better mental health. Integrea introduced me to the use of art as a coping skill.
Now, at age 35, I find art a great outlet for me to relax. I can share my inner demons and show my creative side. I can also show that I can work with multiple materials. Plus, I can work with my best friend to create art, if we want. This art piece shows that even with mental illnesses and struggles, there can be an ability to help others.
