Went over to the thrift store today and found this gem! It’s only been two weeks since my last seizure, but seeing all these names, I am thankful I have gotten it under more control than ten years ago. Shout out to all those struggling with epilepsy and continue to fight hard every day 💜💜

Sometimes you just can’t motivate yourself to create, so you watch your dog freak out over a bone instead. He’s a ween!

Today is International Epilepsy Day!

Tell a ‘leptic you love them, take a minute tops out of your day to read a couple facts about seizure first aid (epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders - you could save a life!) and seize the day every day 🤘

As one who struggles with epilepsy, this is a condition that is easy to hide the bad, I’ve gotten away for months with people not knowing about it, and many people do not even know anything about it besides you have seizures. It’s more than that - the side effects of medication, the fear of the next seizure and where you could end up having it. I had to drop out of school, lost jobs, lost friends and missed out on fun activities, have been groped coming out of one and have even had seizures that have injured me, including one in a shower where I almost drowned myself from falling the wrong way. I have come a long way from frequent seizures, but even still it comes up. I hate my epilepsy, it used to embarrass me to no end (running out of a house naked definitely takes the cake) but I am as close to normal (health wise) as I can be and hey, I’ve made some cool paintings from it and have really been spreading the word and educating with it!

To all of you with epilepsy, I appreciate your support and understand your struggle! Please reach out to me when you need an ear 💜

After a month long hiatus of moving, I am finally back at it again! This past week has been a tremendous boost to my ego by having more paintings from my previous collection sold and has inspired me to branch out to learning more techniques and explore different themes close to my life.

Last week, I got to play around in my new home and painted this to the album "Bi***es Brew" by Miles Davis and this other piece called "Feminine Takeover" which was a gift to my closest friend and strongest woman.

After experiencing trauma from an assault by a previous male roommate / friend and confronting those haunting memories within the past couple months, I knew I had to bring light to this issue that so many womxn go through. My next collection will include themes on coming to terms with abuse, the struggles, positives and negatives of telling others and the power and strength women have that tries to be diminished in a male dominated world. This will be an extremely personal venture and I hope it will encourage others who have been a victim of assault to create or begin to open up about their own stories.

In the meantime, while my collection is being made, you can also subscribe to my mailing list through my website and to see available paintings for purchase.

Had so much fun making this painting for my sister. She did great on her performances in aerial and pole and I can’t be more proud!

So glad you like it and hung it up!

Be whoever you want! There’s a lot of hate going on right now and it’s too tough of a world to hide you are. Unfortunately, this is the reality of many of our friends in the LGBTQ+ community.

Being a bisexual woman, I have received my own type of judgement from others, but there are so many people who are scared for their lives to be who they truly are. I like to stay positive, but there is still so much work to be done. We need to bother the crap out of our representatives to inform them what we really want, equality in all aspects of life. Our LGBTQ+ friends need our support. No one should be stuck in one category because life is never black and white.

My dream gal 😍

November is epilepsy awareness month, with the color representing epilepsy awareness. This painting gives a nod to epilepsy awareness month as well as represents my life having a new beginning thanks to ma*****na. Without it, I’d be unable to work or remember anything. I was able to get myself off two medications because of it. Leave the judgement for those with no empathy and find the path that makes you the healthiest.
