About Me
Art and fashion hold a special place in my heart. Living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)—a rare and excruciating chronic illness—has deeply shaped my life and my children’s. CRPS is ranked the highest form of chronic pain on the McGill Index, and while there’s no cure, creating art has become my solace.
Art as My Medicine
Fashion serves as my armor, and art is my escape—helping me spread awareness, connect with others, and find joy amidst challenges. I’m grateful to have my work showcased in gallery exhibits and to be part of a vibrant art community.
