ART Through the Lens of Chronic Illness

ART isn’t always meant to please - sometimes, it’s meant to provoke! In a world that often values aesthetics over meaning, I use my art as a powerful tool of expression.

Art has always had the power to inspire, provoke, and shift perspectives. For some, it's a source of beauty or escape. For others, like myself, it’s a mirror held up to society—a tool to challenge, to question, and to bring light to the invisible.

Chronic illness is an uninvited collaborator in my life—and in my art.Living with Lyme disease and Lupus means navigating a reality that’s fragmented, uncertain, and often invisible.

Artist's block can be described as a period of stagnation or a lack of creative energy that impedes an artist's ability to produce new work or make progress on existing projects. It's a complex phenomenon that can affect individuals differently and vary in duration from a temporary setback to a prolonged struggle.
