Title: Artistic Strokes of Growth

Artist Statement

As someone living with Bipolar Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder, I enjoy creating art because it gives me a way to take what is occurring within and around me and put it into a form that I can share with others, giving me a sense of connection that I don’t always feel with words. 

Creating art helps me navigate my mind and body. I once saw myself only as a scientist. I now see myself as a scientist who uses art as her language. From the use of color to describe physical and emotional pain, to painting flowers to symbolize change and growth, I am able to share my journey with others. 

For me art conveys what words cannot. Art has no limits, no labels, and can hold the complexity, uncertainty, and ever-changing nature of living with mental illness.
