Expressions from my Mind, Heart, and Soul.
Expressions from Dragon.
Hi! My name is Crystal!
There is an energy in life that lives inside us. Some call it a spirit. Some a ghost. It is often referred to as a soul. I call mine Dragon.

It is full of life and fire. It is the best part of me, and the most wild part. All of my paintings are created by my Dragon.
◦◦◦
The oil paintings that I create are honest and raw. I believe that all emotion is valid, and I paint to reflect the vast diversity and messiness of life and my human experience.

I create magical moments frozen in time, with care and deliberate strokes. Refractions of my Dragon leave their impression on my paintings and I share these intimate parts of myself to create connections.
My paintings are also a balm for my mental health. I have dealt with General Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, depression, Bipolar Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder for the majority of my life. I am on a journey to better take care of myself and integrate self-care into my everyday life.
◦◦◦
I am learning to talk about hard things that are uncomfortable and stigmatized. I love mindfulness exercises and being present in the moment. I hope to share my story in an honest, authentic way.
◦◦◦
I am becoming unapologetically me.
◦◦◦
I love the authentic you.

Let’s make connections and discover the awe in the universe.
