When did you begin creating art?

I’ve been drawing since a very young age, my parents always gave me a sketch book to keep me busy as a kid as young as 6 years old. I began art class in middle school.

What is your favorite medium?

I like pen and ink as a medium , black and white just makes a impactful visual. Mixed media and watercolor would be next.

Where do you find inspiration?

For inspiration I think I try to depict what an eating disorder feels like to shed light on how isolating it is. How you can look “normal” but be struggling inside.

What motivates you to create?

I’m motivated to make art to show how I’m feeling when words aren’t enough. I try to think how to display what it feels like to be sick and feel alone. It hurts, it’s powerful and helpful to let it out.

Why did you choose to donate to ED Warriors?

I choose to donate my work in hope it helps someone who has been where I have been and at times where I am. Eating disorders are misunderstood and under treated. I hope people get help I wish I had when I was younger.
