Cathy, on her daughter Amanda's recovery

Cathy: Artist Statement



When your child is actively suffering from substance use disorder it is hard to remember that they are so much more than their disease. Amanda is many things: a bungee jumper, a roller coaster rider, and a butterfly swimmer. At Right Turn she tapped into her creative side to help in her recovery and much of the art work is hers. The Invictus poem, written in her handwriting, is tattooed on her arms in honor of her journey.
