Fall 2015: Self-Expression - The Art of Healing
“I came to Hopewell thinking that I am defined by my mental illness. By being here, I became aware that I am so much more than that,” says Dana, age 24.
Dana arrived at Hopewell in late August 2015 after a two-week hospitalization. “I felt like I could finally breathe again. It was like a breath of fresh air, literally.”
In 2013, Dana graduated from Mount Saint Joseph University in Cincinnati with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. She had a particular passion for fabrics and textiles, and did a great deal of fabric dying and screen printing.
