I've been reflecting on my work and can honestly admit that I know I do a bit too many different things, making my work hard to pin down. That being said, I've been contemplating what to focus on - my new depictions of plants growing out of organs or my classic inclination to draw abstract faces inside of faces.

My aunt sent me an art journal my work had been published in when I was still in art school. When I opened it up, I found my drawing - an abstract organ with faces inside of it! Looks like I've come full circle..and I can't wait to see what's coming next.

According to the World Health Organization, more than 264 million people of all ages worldwide are affected by depression. It is a leading cause of disability and can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life, work, productivity and social relationships.

Although it is often triggered by life events, there are parts of the brain that are structurally different than a neurotypical brain. Chemical imbalances, genetic predispositions and environmental factors all play a part. People don't choose to be depressed, rather their brain's structural and chemical makeup doom them to depression.

There are several therapies and medications that have been proven to help aid this illness. If you are struggling, I urge you to seek out professionals who can help you on your path. Qualified mental health professionals can help determine the best treatment plan for you.

Depression is a complex disorder that requires compassion, support, and evidence-based treatments. If you're struggling with depression, know that you're not alone and there is help available.

Sometimes we have to embrace the darkness within us to find the light. The Dark Night of the Soul is a period of deep introspection and spiritual crisis that can ultimately lead to growth and transformation. Don't be afraid to explore the depths of your soul and confront your fears, for they hold the keys to your true self. Trust the process and know that the dawn will come.

We have to be careful of the secondary wounding that happens when others doubt, blame and stigmatize those struggling with an internal illness. It is hard enough to be waging a war inside your head, but sometimes external influences make these symptoms even more unbearable.

Unfortunately secondary wounding is almost guaranteed when your symptoms affect your behavior. We tend to associate people with their actions, therefore the very thing that people use to base your character off of is impacted.

When we approach others with compassion, we are more likely to be open to understanding others who exhibit what we would consider to be "odd" behavior. We may be more likely to accept that there may be more below the surface.
