Art of Recovery

Since the crash in the early part of 2006, it has been a long road just to be here presenting art. I am grateful for all those helping in my recovery, even as it continues now, though its end is in sight!

From my first moments awake from a coma not knowing where I was, and how my best friend was killed in my car due to something neither of us could‘ve changed. Wishing he had survived, while I sat in guilty recovery. To my recent wishes that he was here as a friend as much as my life has changed. To feeling guilty for the times I do not mention him. And for the everlasting wish that things were as they once were.

But in all this, I was able to continue expressing myself in art. From art therapy at the Courage Centre (which although I didn’t have to take the name literally, I did) to my opportunities at Interact where those with disabilities can pursue art, present it, and shatter the preconceptions of one limit affecting an unrelated ability.

I hope that I have done artwork well enough that you can glimpse what I have and for a moment see what I’ve seen.
