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.

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.
