Congratulations! Years ago, I was invited to do an art show with other women survivors of abuse, and it was a scary and uncomfortable thing for me to do, but also empowering. IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT. We had a guest book at our exhibit, and the affirmations from those who viewed the art were very healing. Speaking the truth through your art can be very powerful. I think you would be more likely to regret not doing it. Hugs
