READ BEFORE YOU VIEW

The drawings below show the real story of my life. They contain honest images and words about:

  • Domestic violence and abuse.
  • Addiction and alcohol.
  • Suicide and loss.
  • Childhood trauma (ACEs).

I share these not to stay in the past, but to show you where my grit comes from. If you are not in a good place to see these right now, please skip this section.

I am not a victim. I am the architect of what came next.
