Painting and creating over the years has been my refuge, my medicine and my escape. The last fourteen years I’ve been battling a rare, incurable chronic illness called RSD or CRPS. Seven days a week I’m managing pain and all that goes along with it. In 2018 I painted Lost out of emotions of feeling lost. I put it aside. In 2020, Lost took an additional meaning. Feelings of being trapped, and scared led to a deeper feeling of being lost but at the same time, I always want to have a lens ready to look to the future.
