Healing Through Art: My Journey of Grief and Growth

Artwork by Liz Fernandes

This is some of my art. I’ve been an artist since I was 9, and due to trauma and grief, new places of psychosis can come from losing my dad. My brain chemistry changed, and I went through various changes. It allowed me to grow a beautiful connection to my body, mind, spirit, nervous system, energy, and spaces—and to free myself by facing the grief of my dad and my new diagnoses of schizoaffective bipolar disorder and BPD in 2018.
