Usually when I make a self-portrait, it’s an exercise in technical skill, trying to create a realistic depiction of myself. But this time I felt the need to depict my inner world, especially my struggle with major depressive disorder. I developed depression in late 2020 and it’s come to affect all parts of my life. The struggle with depression is a significant part of my day-to-day, but it’s been difficult to speak about because it’s frankly embarrassing and isolating, despite the fact that the stigma is lessening and most people experience depression at some time during their lives. The truth of my experience is that while “reaching out for help” is becoming more & more encouraged, most of us weren’t taught how to support someone experiencing mental illness. My symptoms and needs are confusing even for me and can place strain on my relationships. Yet, when I put on the “happy mask” and go about my interactions as I would if I was feeling well, it comes off as fake & unavailable. It’s an isolating cycle and it’s hard to break. I spend so much time, energy, and money managing my symptoms that I feel as though I’m falling behind in life and watching the world pass by outside my window. The dog at the bottom of the drawing is my puppy Annie, who is with me through everything and has been the greatest blessing this year. It feels good to start to be more transparent and vulnerable about my experience. I hope it makes someone else feel less alone.

hi y'all! it's been a minute since I introduced myself. I'm Amelia (or Mel), my pronouns are she/her, and I'm 26. I live in Denver, Colorado now, but I grew up in the gulf south and it really influenced my art style. I deal with a lot of themes like coming of age, ecological devastation, magic, love, being queer... so many things. and of course, I make fan art for my favorite books, movies, and shows. if you like my work, you can buy prints here or follow me on instagram!
