Artwork: In 2025 my show, “Unveiled: The Art of Healing” , was featured in the gallery at the Art League of Lincoln. I create abstract watercolor and ink paintings that show my process of working through the pains of my past. My artwork is a testament to the transforming action of using colors, mark-making and poetry to process my emotions. It has played an important part of my healing journey in becoming who I am today.
