Description I drew this during my 'disintegration' period, reflecting both my experience and my attitudes toward psychiatry and how we treat people with mental health diagnoses
Faith Peeples, Pittsburgh Member Since March 2009 Artist Statement I have been labeled an "outsider artist" by curators and gallery owners. I began sculpting and drawing quite suddenly in 1997 after a series of traumatic events that resulted in a disability. Art is therapeutic for me. Most of my work comes from my imagination and life experiences. I usually draw with pencils, including watercolor and oil pencils, and I sometimes paint with pastels. In my previous life I was a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. I much prefer the life of an artist and could never go back to the "mainstream" work world. This is the first time I have tried to sell my art and I'm curious to see how it goes!
