I struggled with depression throughout my adolescence. It wasn't until I became entirely lost that I found myself, my passion for my art, and purpose to share my art and mental health awareness. I hope that my art and my voice can help to raise awareness in discussing this highly stigmatized topic. 

Let's come together, shift public perception, and spread hope and information to not only those struggling themselves but also those who know of someone struggling!!!
