The idea behind the gallery was itself inspired by the Survivors Art Foundation, which provides a place for trauma survivors to publish their works.

 

Janelle

Janelle is a sexual harassment and stalking survivor who has used painting and drawing to explore her feelings about what happened to her.  Of these paintings she writes, “I painted white randomly over the squares, and then used oil pastels to draw a scene on the canvas.  I don’t want the scenes to be happy, and I need to find ways to get across that the blue figure is trying to harm the red figure. ”

“Art helped give me a release from the harassment and helped calm my mind down when I would be having anxiety.  Also, it’s helped me communicate to other people when it came to telling them what happened to me.”
