Artist Statement:

“On hospital gowns, I write down my thoughts just as I did when I was in the hospital following my traumatic brain injury when I had no access to paper. The handwritten marks move between legibility and abstraction, forming patterns that reflect memory, emotion, and experience. Through this process, I have been able to rediscover my identity and use art as a way to connect with others who have experienced brain injury.”
