My name is Shannon, I am an independent artist, a healer, a mother, an a disabled veteran.
I have been plagued by my past with night terrors & visions no one should ever have to see. I understand what it is to have (C)PTSD. I also understand PTSD & Trauma and the way it affects the body, mind, soul, and our hearts. I have been moonlighting as a social worker for veterans and civilians who suffer and need support for many years now. After loosing a dear friend to suicide, I felt a strong desire to take my efforts on a more serious front.
The mission is to simply put: is to save lives by creating something beautiful from our pain. While understanding what and why our pain exists.
The Goal of this page is a simple one.
{To save the lives of others by eliminating the choice of death by your own hand} That's right I am speaking about the "22 a day crisis" amongst Veterans. 22 a day is too many, at least to me because one is too many.
You are not alone, join me and paint your pain away.
