Art and fashion will always have a special place for me. Having a rare chronic illness called CRPS or Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, has not only changed my life but it has also changed my kid’s lives. There is no cure for CRPS. It’s ranked, by the McGill Index, the highest form of chronic pain that exists today! Throughout the years, I’ve struggled to try and find happiness. Art saved me and fashion is my armor. Exploring different creative outlets, allows me to spread awareness, discover new ideas and opens new doors to happiness. Being a part of the art community has led me to meet other artists, art lovers and has led me to be in multiple gallery exhibits.
