I have faced many obstacles in my life. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, and stressors. I have faced physical health struggles. I have worked to overcome these obstacles by seeking services at Riverbend, taking my medicine, and using coping skills. I have worked with staff to be stable.
 
I became an artist by reading books about art and watching tv shows about art. I taught myself by using educational books. I like art because it is fun and helps me with my illness. I like to draw and color. I also like to do art puzzles and continue learning.
