My name is Mercy, my pronouns are she/her and I am a self-taught artist based in Portland, Oregon. I was born and raised in Southern California but decided it was time for a change in 2019.

Living in a different state during a worldwide pandemic was challenging in many ways so I turned to art to keep me company. In my isolation (like most of us) my depression got more intense, and art was the only thing that kept me sane.

I’ve been exploring different art styles since I began creating. From graphic design to acrylic paintings, and everything in between. I love inspiring people to be in touch with their creative side, and to be inspired by what they create in return. Art has been my therapy and I hope that people who struggle with mental illness can find inspiration, hope, and healing in art because that’s what it has done for me.

Thank you for being here and checking out my work. It means the world.
