Sarah Slama
I started painting in 2013 after suffering a TBI in a car accident that left me with cognitive deficits and the inability to express emotions effectively. Painting has been a therapeutic outlet and a profound means of self-expression, discovery and healing. I believe art to be a reflection of life and I draw inspiration from various sources. Influences from nature, music, and people all help shape my artistic expression. Most of my work consists of acrylic abstract paintings.

Metamorphosis
When creating "Metamorphosis" I used modeling paste, acrylic paint, metallic foil and three-dimensional butterflies. I was inspired by growth, change and the ability to keep moving forward. This fits the theme of "Choosing Hope" because resilience emerges after hardship. The blue signifies peace and possibility, and along with the butterflies, it reminds us that there is hope in healing and new beginnings.
