Ever feel like your skin doesn’t fit? Like clothes are too much or not enough? That’s me often. BPD makes it loud. But I’m learning to meet myself with compassion.

I’ve been working on these cute 3x3 art pieces, small in size but full of emotion. All proceeds from my Ko-fi go toward supplies and to a local mental health centre. Every bit of support helps me keep creating.

My daughter once asked me why I was sad, I didn’t have words, so I painted.

Big eyes, purple skin, green hair, and a self-portrait surrounded by the chaos of expression. Every head, a feeling I’ve lived. This is what it looks like when I stop hiding.

New blog up: I talk about growing up around narcissism, how it shaped my identity, and how that trauma led to BPD.
I still love someone who shows those same patterns, and that hurts in ways I’m still unlearning.

Showing my art until someone sees me.
Each piece tells a truth I don’t always have words for.
This is what healing looks like messy, bold, and real.

WIP exploring narcissistic personality disorder.
A cracked mask, a delicate flower, and a spider-like creature tangled in the hair watching silently. Power, beauty, and manipulation in a haunting mix.

Finished my latest art on paranoia personality disorder, capturing the chaos and whispers that live inside the mind. Sometimes, it’s all in your head, but it feels so real. #MentalHealthArt #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #CanadianArtist #Artist #painter

BPD paranoia isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s a whisper that hijacks your peace. A delayed text, a quiet room, a glance. Your brain screams β€œthey hate you." I poured that feeling into my WIP.

Some days, creating art feels like breathing. Other days, it feels like digging through fog just to find myself. But I keep showing up.
