About the Artist

Susan Martin

I am a survivor, and an Artist. I also happen to be mentally and physically disabled. Sexual abuse, numerous head injuries and trauma caused PTSD. Disabling DDJ and 3 spinal surgeries cause chronic pain. My Bipolar Disorder is subdued by meds and therapy. The Best therapy is my Art! Using Media like Markers, 3-D paint, Acrylics and Enamel in expressive detail I find relief from mania and vibrant color lifts my lows! Pain pours out, love and hope flow in, only to flow out again in a cleansing cycle of beauty. I share my art and my story to help others who suffer in silence. .
