Alexis V. Russell
Art has always been a form of therapy for me. It has been my safe space — a place where I can express my emotions and let my creativity run free. On February 29, 2024, I was a passenger in a traumatic motor vehicle accident that changed my life forever. I was treated at three different hospitals before being transferred to Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for intensive rehabilitation. Initially, fear and uncertainty made it difficult to know how to begin healing, both in body and in spirit. The art sessions at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab became a place where I could breathe, process my emotions, and transform my experiences into something meaningful. Shirley Ryan helped me rebuild hope and move forward with greater courage, clarity, and compassion for myself. Through art therapy, I found my way back to myself and learned to cherish the most precious masterpiece of all… this blessed, beautiful life.
