About:

Hi there! My name is Cheryl, a wife and mom to 3 boys who are my world. Over the past 2 years I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Small Fiber Neuropathy, New Daily Persistent Headache, Occipital Neuralgia, POTS, Cervical Spine Arthritis, and Gastritis. It was like a trickle effect of diagnosis, one after the other and really flipped my whole world upside down.

Before these diagnosis I have always had a love for crafting and art and have run an Etsy shop since 2011. Through determination of not giving up what I love to do I have continued to design and create art as it’s a great distraction from everyday symptoms. I started an Instagram account in April 2021 creating digital art to reflect the life of someone who lives with chronic illness and pain. I wanted to help others to know they aren’t alone in this journey while also spreading awareness.

What inspries Me

I am inspired by the chronic illness community to create art and express the life of chronic illness and pain. I often go off of my own feelings and experiences to create pieces that others typically relate to.
