📖 A Personal Journey Through Art & Healing
This video is unique because, while I share my art techniques, I also share a deeply personal story—how art has helped me heal from trauma. I open up about my experiences with Religious Abuse, including the mental, emotional, and physical toll it had on me, and how it led to suicidal ideations.
DISCLAIMER: This video discusses sensitive topics, including mental health struggles. Please take care while watching.
The good news? Art became my refuge. Through creativity, I found a way to process my emotions, reclaim my joy, and heal. While the pain is still part of my story, my art practice continues to help me move forward. I hope this video inspires you to explore art as a tool for your own emotional well-being. ❤️
🖌 Don’t Have the Same Supplies? No Problem!
You can follow along using tempera paint, gouache, pencil crayons, or even a ball-point pen. The beauty of mixed media is that you can adapt it to what you have on hand!
