Welcome to my world where art meets mental health advocacy
I'm a 22 year old artist passionate about talking about the unspoken.
My struggles in art
I've struggled with a lot of mental health battles in my life. On this website I present to you a piece of my mind. It's a world filled with a lot of darkness, but also a hidden light source underneath. Poetry and art are a way to express myself.

The sadness where it often begins

"Moments of joy have vanished without trace, only leaving an impression behind of what life once was. No other emotion took its place; hollowness remains. I've been trying to fill the void with everything - education, a business and therapy. Yet, they are only bandages on a wound that never heals. When I'm not occupied, the wave carries me back into the sea, and I'm drowning again."
And then you do everything to supress your emotions

This is a digital painting I made of my father inspired by a self-portrait made by Edvard Munch. I took a photograph for a school assignment a long time ago posing him.
With this artwork I wanted to depict the loneliness and melancholy of substance abuse.

Longing for control admist the chaos

I've struggled with disorder eating. I wanted control admits the chaos. With reducing my day to meal planning and calorie counting, I also reduced my world. Maybe when I obsess about this there is no room to think about the things that I'm actually struggling with. With this painting I wanted to portray the body most of us with disordered eating long for: a body that shows you are fragile, and you should be treated as such.

But who am I outside of this all?
I'm a lonesome creature that wants to be surrounded by nature
"I only felt loneliness in a crowd full of people. Amidst the chatter and laughter, I was a silent observer around people that felt increasingly foreign."
Searching for light within me

Because I've experienced such depths in my life, I can appreciate the highs more. Admiring and fully experiencing the little things is no problem for me. When the warmth of the sun gently strokes my face when I go for a walk, or the feeling of liveliness I get when I'm fully absorbed in creating my art. For once, I'm happy that I'm living; it's a celebration of life I nearly let slip away. The invisible ropes around my heart have finally weakened.
For a moment, I'm just existing, and that is all that matters right now.
Finding solace in art

"I turn my pain into art. I don't want the mental suffering I endured for all these years to be for nothing."
Live forever through my art

"I like the idea when I'm gone a part of me still lives on through my art, in this way I sort of live forever."
Creating a better world
With the use of magical lightning I want to create a better world in my art. It's a world I often wish to escape to.

Using my imagination for good things: industrial design

I have a small business where I make neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, etc.) and mental health themed products (stickers, mugs, etc.). These themes are very dear to me as I'm neurodivergent myself and I've been struggling with my mental health since a young age. NeurodiverseTea is small business designed for neurodivergent people by a neurodivergent person.

Making designs for mental health

I want to make sure heavy topics are open for discussion. I use my knowledge and experience to design concepts to help with mental health.
I did it. I turned my pain into art.
