“T, L, C.” - 02 Drawing

My art is more than a form of expression—it is my lifeline. It has guided me through the turbulent waters of chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), becoming a beacon of hope in my darkest moments. Each piece I create is a reflection of the physical and emotional suffering that has shaped me, capturing the raw and unfiltered essence of my journey. Art has been my salvation, a tool that has steered me away from multiple suicide attempts and provided a way to channel my pain into something meaningful. It is through this cathartic process that I confront my demons, transforming turmoil into works of resilience and beauty. Every line and shape carries a profound weight, a reminder that even in the depths of despair, there is an opportunity for creation and connection. Many of my works were born in moments of extreme emotional pain—times when suicidal ideation loomed heavily. Some were created in the aftermath of actual suicide attempts. Embedded in every artwork are these deeply personal experiences, serving as raw, unfiltered testaments to both the gravity of my struggles and the resilience that continues to keep me here. They are not just art—they are records of survival. I strongly believe in the power of art to heal, to inspire, and to connect. Through my work, I strive to raise awareness about the challenges faced by those living with chronic pain, PTSD, and disabilities. My art sheds light on the profound struggles many endure in silence while celebrating the courage and strength it takes to endure and thrive. My hope is that my creations serve as a beacon for others fighting their own battles, showing them that beauty can emerge from even the darkest of places. I want my art to inspire hope, to remind others that they are not alone, and to encourage them to find their own path to healing and self-expression. Each piece I create is a reflection of my journey—a testament to the lessons I’ve learned, the pain I’ve endured, and the resilience that drives me forward. My journey continues, and through my art, I invite others to walk with me and find their own strength in the beauty of perseverance. The journey continues… Much Love Fozzy
