Captive red threads collection

I survived a childhood riddled with abuses no one should endure. Domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, rape, and confinement are the broad strokes of the darker shades of my life- especially growing up. As an adult, I utilize my art and artistic expression to share, heal, and grow. I can truly say art has saved my life. More than once. I want to share the beauty that grows above and beyond the pain and speak for those who have yet to find their voices.
