Hi. I'm Teruko. Believer. A survivor of childhood poverty and childhood neglect. 

I am in recovery for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I started painting in 2017 as a New Years Resolution to complete 1 painting a month, every month, for the entire year! I kept that resolution for 2017 and just kept it going year after year.

Painting is good for me because I can make mistakes or try things that didn't go together but still create meaningful artwork that is valuable despite its imperfections. Reminds me that I am valuable despite my own imperfections.

Now I like to share the things I paint and craft to encourage others who are in recovery just like me. No matter what your hurt, habit, or hang up is – there are recovery groups to help you break free and make healthy choices.

Thank you for letting me share!
