“Art is therapy. I want people to feel as though they are expressing themselves when they see my art. I haven’t always been able to express myself. I’ve faced a lot of pain & Art helps me to channel & express freely…Not just the pain, but also the beauty. There is a world I see that others can not. My art brings people into my beautiful chaotic world…” -Blu
