This painting captures the transformation of a person who experienced domestic abuse. At rock bottom, a person is crying, hurt and on the floor. The shoulders are hunched over which shows them hiding and trying to make themselves small. They are desperate to not be seen which is why the color used for this part is a shade of gray.

At the top of the painting, there is a warrior, a superhero, a fierce fighter who is confidently in their power. The person is looking in the mirror and seeing a complete person who is healed and ready to take on whatever comes to them.

This painting called “From Victim to Survivor,” captures what a person may go through while they are experiencing domestic violence and how with hope and care, the person can heal to feel empowered to move forward.
