These are mine (as if you didn’t already know). $0.00 There are so many reasons to keep growing this. Here’s my biggest one. $0.00 There is beauty in our brokenness too and it can open us up to light and new sights and growth if we let it. $0.00 No one is being attacked here. We are ALL broken. But brokenness has sharp edges we need to recognize. $0.00 Psych hospitals are also broken systems, yet for a long time they were the only place I felt I belonged. It’s where I spent my 21st birthday. $0.00 We often pass our trauma onto younger generations because of hidden, unhealed wounds. I won’t stop trying to break the cycle even if it kills me. $0.00 I constantly struggle with imposter syndrome. Masking for so long is a large cause of it. $0.00 I wasn’t able to finish high school and every time I attempted college I failed. It’s a broken system many people fall through. I am one of them. $0.00 Metamorphosis $0.00 This feeling is also a foreshadowing, but you won’t get to that part today. $0.00 I’ve had to fight to survive. $0.00 This picture sums up my life to the point where you are in the story right now. $0.00 I’ve spent so much time alone in the darkness of my emotions trying to find myself. $0.00 I have so many masks and under them all I had never gotten to build a core self. $0.00 I’m broken, NOT ill. I don’t need a cure. I need healing. $0.00 I am anxious most of the time and it feels a lot like this. $0.00 Healing takes time. $0.00 My dreams are so real and often terrifying. I sleep with a night light. $0.00 Before getting properly diagnosed as autistic and understanding how differently I experience the world, I did everything to try to stay numb. $0.00 My first suicide attempt was when I was 14. My daughter’s was this year at age 12. I’m so scared I won’t be able to keep either of us alive. $0.00 I could be reaching, but I’m likely just falling again. $0.00 Some touches still linger on my skin. $0.00 But his message still lives on. Believe. $0.00 Page Six Illustration $0.00 Page Five Illustration $0.00 Page Four Illustration $0.00 Page Three Illustration $0.00 Page Two Illustration $0.00 Page One Illustration $0.00 So, truthfully, are you? $0.00 Being safe is more than a word. It’s silence to listen without responding or trying to change anyone but yourself. It’s the uncomfortable process of growth and admitting mistakes. It’s vulnerability a $0.00 Of everyone walking around here in this gallery, I wonder if anyone has actually seen anything. $0.00 I know my truth and I will never let anyone kill it or take it away from me. $0.00 …And here. I fear I could end up here too. $0.00 We all share some of the burden. None of us are responsible for all of it. We just need to do our part. No less and no more. $0.00 Many who fall through the cracks end up here… $0.00 Did you know that churches are exempt from the ADA (American’s with Disabilities Act)? Churches are like families; they ALL are broken in some way. It’s not personal and I hope we can make it safe for $0.00 I am still working through trauma from when I was physically assaulted by a police officer during a crisis 14 years ago. $0.00 I feel everything so deeply and most of the time I’m judged and punished for it. $0.00 ALL families have brokenness. We can’t start to heal until we make it safe for people to open up about it and talk about it. $0.00 Talking to most people feels like this. $0.00 I don’t usually feel safe or connected with people which is why my plushies help me so much. They also hold a lot of my memories that get lost so easily in my mind. That isn’t childish at all. $0.00 You’re not the first person to just stare at me while I’m drowning. $0.00 Sometimes the light we follow to find our way out is an illusion to keep us distracted. $0.00 There is so much inside my head that I’ve been taught to keep hidden away. $0.00 In many stories, I am the enemy. I don’t even want to be in this fight. $0.00 I actually love the rain. I’ll take it over sunny days almost always. $0.00 The universe is mostly empty space and it’s expanding. Often I feel that way too. $0.00 New Movie: Projecting. Directed By: You $0.00 We all see the world in different colors. It's hard to comprehend colors we can't see. It doesn't mean they're not there. $0.00 People don't see how much effort I put in to exist in this world or how much it costs me. $0.00 Takiwatanga. I don't fit in. $0.00 My scars are not the end of my story. $0.00 I am so tired. $0.00 We all have scars we carry. $0.00 These cracks are here. They really do exist. It's not personal. $0.00 I've tried them all - more than once. They're all locked. $0.00 What we say about others says more about us than it does about them. Don't define yourself with their words. $0.00 I hate this stage. $0.00 We are both in this painting at this exact moment. You and me. $0.00 The flowers here my younger self could only hope for but couldn't see. $0.00 You are here. $0.00 Bethlem Asylum #4 $300.00 Face #3 $250.00 Red Head Girl $300.00 Masking $150.00 Dance $200.00 Love $200.00 White Virgin Mary $150.00 Sam Up Close $150.00 Free $150.00 Bethlem Royal Asylum #2 $200.00 Grecian Girl $200.00 Veg $250.00 Strut $250.00 Kiss $250.00 Childhood $200.00 Lost $250.00 Lift $150.00 My Space $150.00 Mrs Budha $250.00 Blue Goddess $250.00 Strawberry Blonde $150.00 Finally Alone $300.00 Yes? $200.00 Boxed In $200.00 Self portrait #3 $150.00 Angela $300.00 Lizzy Bethlem Asylum $200.00 Tyler $150.00 The Kodias $185.00 Teather $150.00 Tabitha $475.00 Opeyemi $185.00 My Posse $185.00 My Garden $295.00 Monique $150.00 Melissa $185.00 Low Lights $150.00 Julieta $185.00 Jim $150.00 Jessica $285.00 Isiko $185.00 In Heaven $185.00 In A Crowd $150.00 Henry $475.00 Gretchen $225.00 Grace $265.00 Dave and Mary $475.00 Cynthia $150.00 Carl $475.00 Becky $150.00 Amadou with Hat $285.00 Amadou and Awa $475.00 Alex $150.00 Afidou $265.00 Abel $285.00 Abdul $225.00 Flower No. 5 $100.00 Flower No. 4 $100.00 Flower No. 3 $100.00 Flower No. 2 $100.00 Flower No. 1 $100.00 When Life Gives You Lemons $750.00 The Rhino $900.00 Free Kitten $900.00 11 Flowers Striped Pot $900.00 5 Flamingos, Buy, Sell, Trade $600.00 Black Leopard, Pink Flowers $900.00 Marlboro Fours $750.00 The Pouch $800.00 Cheetah in the Red Sun $500.00 Tiger in the Long Grass $400.00 88 cents $200.00 Flower No. 7 $350.00 The Tiger $1,500.00 Free 99 $400.00 Red $400.00 Giraffe in the Sun $400.00 Poe $200.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Tim Blackwell $85.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Lathan Barksdale $125.00 Orange Study 3 $150.00 Orange Study 2 $150.00 In Your Own Time and Space $500.00 you helped me exhale $500.00 we have been together so long how do we be anything else? $500.00 the days that keep repeating $350.00 tell me when $250.00 small pieces of string, like tiny connectors $250.00 rest $250.00 our eyes need rest $250.00 Next
