…I suffered much sexual abuse throughout my early childhood….After leaving my family, I lived with a very abusive man whom I married and had a child with. Five years ago, my son and I got away from him. The two of us have built a really awesome, safe life together...

There are always going to be bad things that happen in life but they have nourished what I have become....My art represents all of my accomplishments and things I am proud of that I have done since taking control of my life and separating myself from the negative people.
