Between Worlds: Chronic Illness, Liminality, and the Language of Art

Navigating the Canvas of Chronic Illness: How My Body Shapes My Art

As a visual artist, I find inspiration in the beauty and resilience of the human spirit, especially during times of adversity. May is a particularly poignant month for me, as it marks the awareness campaigns for both Lyme disease and Lupus.

“Sous Ma Peau” c’est une nouvelle exposition d’art engagé, cette fois-ci, il s’agit d’un projet d’art public, réalisé dans le cadre de Sentier Des Arts, un projet organisé par le Centre Multiculturel Guy Dupré, de la ville La Prairie.

As an artist living with Lyme disease for over 12 years, I have found solace, expression, and purpose through my artwork. My journey has been one of highs and lows, marked by invisible symptoms that often go unnoticed by others.

Raise awareness through art! Meet the Lyme Odyssey, one of my acrylic works that I am really fond of! I poured my heart and soul into this painting. It has been a real cathartic experience to transfer into the canvas my Lyme journey.

If you visited my Facebook page lately, you may have noticed that I kept on posting a new series of paintings that aim to raise awareness about the Lyme disease.
