Connection was created after a powerful conversation with a friend from the International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF.org) about the foundation’s mission...Empowerment, Advocacy, Education, and Awareness. While I haven’t experienced bipolar disorder, I connected deeply to the cause, remembering my own struggles with OCD, anxiety and perfectionism in college. Painting this creation was emotional and cathartic. Every layer represents both the weight of those dark moments and the light that can emerge through support, connection, and hope. It’s a tribute to resilience, community, and the healing power of art, a reminder that beauty can rise from pain. Purchase any version of this creation, print, sticker or stretched/unstretched canvas and 10% of proceeds will be donated to support IBPF.
