About the Artist
BLOOM 🌷
Hi I'm Karen. Following a mild traumatic brain injury, i found myself lost, afraid, angry and rudderless. Typically a high achiever, everything became a challenge. I could no longer function with the same degree of focus, energy or effectiveness. With all that said, I began to self-medicate and eventually lost my way completely.
Fast forward 12 years, and I can wholeheartedly say I'm rediscovering my joy. Developing a relationship with God and discovering alternate art-making processes has helped me work through my trauma and the feelings associated with hitting bottom. It took many missteps, false starts, and heartache to bring me to today. With gratitude, I'm now joyful in ALL circumstances. Not necessarily happy all the time, but able to experience joy that only comes from having faith in God. Today I take it one day at a time, trusting He will be there for me no matter what. I'm not disappointed.
