This week, I Still Matter lead an art workshop at River Region Human Services, Inc. with a fantastic group of people! Participants made art that represented their personal process of recovery. The artwork will be made into prints and sold at River Region’s May fundraiser. Here is what participants shared about their artwork and how it relates to their recovery.

“The top skulls represent when I was using. I felt crazy but when I got sober I felt at peace. The bottom skulls are more peaceful” ~Monica

“My piece is titled “The Tree of Life” and it represents growth & strength. ~Logan

“My piece represents the cycle of life” ~ Tosha

“When I was using, my days were running into my nights” ~ Destiny

“I titled mine The Skies the Limit In Recovery” ~Katrina

“After doing this project it made me look back on my life and I was in the dark. I’m ready to move forward to my bright future” ~Desoree

“By His stripes I am healed. Purple represents Christ has risen. I had a heart in the world but the world would not allow me to have a heart so I turned the hearts upside down. Even though the world was dark, I looked up to the stars”. ~ Chanel

“The title of my piece is Heal. Healing is a slow process but the outcome has been incredible”
