My Journey: Healing and Alchemy Through Art
About Brilliant Life Behind Bars
Brilliant Life Behind Bars was born after two years of silence… two years where I disappeared from the world, drowning in grief, guilt, and shame. My daughter, a survivor of domestic violence, is serving a 4 year sentence, after defending herself and her 4 year old child..my granddaughter in her own home.
For two years, I couldn’t paint. My hands wouldn’t move, my spirit felt trapped just like she was. But one day this past spring, color came back to me. This piece poured out in one unstoppable rush .. bold reds for rage, electric blues for hope, gold for resilience, and light breaking through the darkness.
It’s a reminder that even in the darkest chapters, there’s still brilliance in life. It’s a promise that bars, whether made of steel or pain, cannot cage the human spirit.
I’m selling this original piece, along with limited edition prints and curated merch to raise funds for my daughter’s new beginning when she’s released to help her rebuild, reclaim her life, and step into the future she deserves. A portion of every sale will also go to a domestic violence advocacy group (Adult / Teen Challenge) to help other women and mothers trapped in cycles of abuse find safety and freedom.
When you collect this work, you’re not just buying art you’re standing with survivors. You’re telling the world that healing is possible, justice matters, and no mother, no child, no woman should be left to fight alone.
This is more than paint on canvas. This is a lifeline.My abstract artistic vision is deeply rooted in transformation and emotional storytelling. DONATE HERE

My New Reality
"After facing two years of deep personal and family challenges, I turned back to my art to rediscover my voice. Each brushstroke became a reflection of my healing, emotions, and unspoken experiences. My work is more than just abstract..its a visual story of acceptance, overcoming, resilience, beauty, wellness and freedom." - Juicy Queen CoCo
Art has been my way of speaking when i dont have words throughout my life. A visual expression of overcoming and reclaiming power and freedom. I hope my work can inspire others on their own paths to healing, self expression and self-discovery. Through vibrant colors and spirit inspired paint strokes, I’m not just creating art I’m sharing my inner world... inviting you to experience my journey with me.
I work primarily with bold, contrasting colors vibrant purples, calming blues, rich golds that embody different elements of beauty and self-discovery. My use of abstract forms allows for an open interpretation, encouraging viewers to find their own meaning in the abstract nature and beauty of my work. The textures and layering in my pieces give them a sense of depth, symbolizing the complexity of personal experiences and emotions.
I want my art to resonate with people on a personal level, helping them see that beauty can emerge from pain, and that art is a powerful tool for self-expression and healing. Every stroke is intentional, every color has a purpose, and together , my intention is to create a visual narrative that’s as empowering for the viewer as it is for me as the artist.
My art is a reflection of how I nterpret the world in which I reside, my healing and transformational process, and I hope it resonates with you on your own journey and inspires you.
