I'm an artist and a wife and a mother. I do this to feel wanted and beautiful. I do this because all bodies - even MY body - is worthy of attention and appreciation. I do this as another outlet for my art. I do this in secret and not-so secret. I do this for inspiration and to inspire others. I do this because I am more than the sum of my scars and my bruises. I do this because all women should be so bold.
