#20) "Coping" by Elizabeth Carr
Acrylic on stretched canvas.
16 x 20 inches
“An abstract portraying the muddled feelings that may come after a diagnosis of a chronic illness/ invisible disability. There is relief, finally having a name for what is happening, finally being believed and taken seriously. Once the elation starts to fade those feelings can give way to grief, denial, etc. Knowing that there is no cure, that lifestyle changes must take place, the entire process of grieving and learning to continue on despite those changes.” -Elizabeth
