The Art of Dyslexia
marker, paint, oil pastel, chalk pastel on 12”x18” paper
This piece is comprised of more than 600 (12”x18”) drawings created during hundreds of art therapy sessions. I chose to share these drawings because I want to share how my brain works differently. I was diagnosed in 2019. This diagnosis brought with it a flood of emotions: anger, grief and loss over missed opportunities, but also relief at understanding how come I found so many things difficult and confusing. It also freed me to feel able, if not comfortable, to reach out and ask for the help, support and accommodations that I need.
