I didn't know I was an artist until I was 44. Yeah, just a few years ago, I started treatment for an eating disorder and that meant working on finding out who I truly was. That process, for me, uncovered the truth that the eating disorder had been the reason that my creativity was stifled for nearly three decades.

And as I worked hard at recovery, I learned that I'm not the only one struggling with an eating disorder who squashed their creativity to allow the illness to thrive. It's really very common. 

My uncovering began with doodling in my recovery journals, morphed into hand-lettering and eventually I found myself at an easel with a paint brush in my hand. I learned to use my time with my canvases as a way to give my creativity a voice loud enough to quiet the nagging internal voice of the eating disorder. 

Since I started recovery, I've published a book, established a close-knit online community of others using art to heal themselves in recovery, and started selling my art. 

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
