ARTIST STATEMENT: The meaning behind my art is having a growth mindset, and growing as a person. The flowers the fave represent improvement and water pot represents the fuel motivating self improvement.

How Does It Feel?
The goal of the student art exhibit is to foster the connection between mental health and the arts. How Does it Feel? Is the question we asked student artists at the Chicago Excel Academy - Roselandn school to answer. We wanted to know wshat mental health means to them. What does it look and feel like visually? Students work was framed and displayed at our inaugural Mardi Gras for Mental Health Gala for patrons to view and bid on. Proceeds from any work sold will be split 50/50 between the student and as donation deposited into our Therapy Fund.
