Artist/Survivor with multiple personality disorder (dissociative identity disorder)- uplifting, amazing art.

THE ART GALLERY

Most of the art in The Art Gallery had its beginnings in The Multiple Journals.

I began writing these journals in 1994 when I was flooded by memories of childhood abuse.

After a lifetime of mental hospitals, suicide attempts, despair and confusion, I was diagnosed with MPD/DID (multiple personality disorder/dissociative identity disorder).

I have come to recognize the 44 separate personalities residing within my one very tired, and crowded body.

This is my art and my life on these pages.

I am Survivor... and Artist.

I know who I am-- all of us. I know the truth.

My ability to dissociate from the abuse as a child is the only reason I am alive.

I consider MPD to be a blessing, and a miracle. (Can you understand this?)

In the Multiple Journals the personalities were encouraged to write and draw.

I looked inside for answers. I asked quesitons. I became the expert on me.

It was there that we found healing.

Some of the drawings in my Multiple Journals was later translated into the art you see here, (see more drawings and journal writings in my book, Looking Inside: Life Lessons from a Multiple Personaltiy)

Some of my earlier art is included so that you can see what was there all along, what was overlooked and dismissed. Multiplicity.

It is the wonder of the Child that gives us hope, that brings us joy, that insists that we "Choose Life."
