Raven Kaliana
“My art has been a means of healing from severe abuse perpetrated against me during childhood. Each time I make a painting, I feel that it frees some part of my soul, by making my experiences visible to others. I feel that when I share my art, I help others to see through to their own inner strength and ability..”
