Addye Nieves is a self-taught visual artist, writer, and mental health advocate. Her work focuses on trauma, healing, and how both shape who we are and who we become. She “empowers women to transform brokenness in their lives into power and beauty, and amplifies the voices and experiences of those marked as Other in society.” This is her story from broke to beautiful.
In this conversation we talk about:
• the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father
• how she made it through college while raising two kids as a single mom
• finding painting and how painting saved her sanity
• the path to becoming a self-taught full-time visual artist
• learning to promote and sell her work
• and the first thing anyone can do to help heal trauma through art
