Thanks to the Grace of my God in Christ, I’ve conquered suicide, depression, crippling fear and as a rape Victim.
I’ve come out the other end, (yes covered in battle scars), but I won because of my God.
And now I celebrate these battle scars every day :)
Everything that I am today is because of what I’ve lived through.

Fine liner design to illustrate the new life God gave me in His grace as he rescued me from anxiety, OCD and depression.
"Water encompassed me to the point of death, the great deep engulfed me, weeds were wrapped around my head. I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, but you have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God." Jonah 2:5-6
This A4 pen drawing captures my own experience of living with mental illness. I created this drawing during my 8th year living abroad in Europe, at the time homesickness had gotten the better of me, I was severely agoraphobic, depressed, and hadn't seen my family in several years. Drawing became a therapeutic tool and allowed me to creatively express thoughts I hadn't had the heart to share.
Sadness, grief, tears pouring into a well. Heartbreak, anger, separation. Resilience, healing, peace and happiness is the theme of my artwork relating to mental health.
