The "My Mantra Project" is an art project I created to empower individuals facing any life battle. A "mantra" is a word or phrase that is often repeated and expresses a strong belief, often used by individuals to persevere in times of adversity. I founded this art project as an artist and blood cancer fighter. My mantra and inspiration behind this project and website is in 'I AM THE STORM'. This mantra has gotten me through my battle with cancer. My vision is to draw a portrait with the "fighter's" mantra written on it, along with sharing their story on social media through a timelapse video (with the individual's permission). I want to draw for anyone who is a fighter or survivor of any adversity, big or small - whether it's cancer, addiction, abuse, mental illness, etc.

In this video, you can view an example of what the finished project looks like.
