Hello, bit about me....
Im 29, had ED since I was 19 - ana, bulimia, now binge eater - yep a full house. Im not a proffesional artist but Im a greater beliver in the power of art and im exploring the idea of using images to raise awareness of ED and inspire others to fight against it.

    Awesome. I believe art is a beautiful miracle. It is a healer, a communicator, a lover, a love, an expresser, a revealer, a life-giver.

    I am an artist and writer. Currently working to get my first book published and keeping on keeping on in getting my work out there.

    I draw and paint mostly and am intaglio printmaker.

    I love sharing with people and love for others to share with me.

    my website in the making is http://connieksales.synthasite.org. It doesn't have everything, I am currently remaking some of the pages one by one but When i sit down tonight with a little more time I will post some stuff.

    my work stems from my recovery and my spirituality.

    I love the idea of using images to raise awareness of ED and to inspire people.

    One of the purpose that I feel my art is for is to call others and inspire others to find their voice.

    Thank you so much Mog2.

    Excellent - I am so so glad that you went ahead with setting up this group! I too am 29, was anorexic but now bulimic for too many years than I care to remember. I used to draw a lot when I was a child but stopped until a few years ago - it has been a way of releasing my emotions, I never know what I am about to paint but I carry on regardless. I need a bigger home as my canvasses are collecting dust as I have so many - not enough walls, I should have stuck to A4 - lol. Thanks again for setting up the group >>>>HUGS<<<<
