I am an artist who is captivated by the themes of transformation, love, and recovery. Through my diverse range of artistic mediums, I explore these deeply meaningful and universal concepts. Transformation is a subject that fascinates me, as it represents the inherent ability we all possess to grow, change, and evolve. Whether it is the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly or the personal transformation we experience through life's challenges, I am drawn to capturing the beauty and significance of these new beginnings in my art. Thank you for joining me on this creative journey!

My name is Abigail and I'm a ChooseWell Communities participant. I have been given a unique opportunity to express myself and my recovery journey through different forms of art. When I create art I like to generally gravitate around a specific word for my pieces. I hope through my art that I'm able to spread inspiration to others whether it be in recovery or in life.
