Through Mental Illness Art, Marlena Davis Shares Her Story | PeaceLove

Marlena Davis is an artist and PeaceLove CREATOR. Living with depression and anxiety, she makes mental illness art to find peace of mind, share her story and help break down mental health stigma. Through mediums like photography, painting and drawing, Marlena bravely sheds light on what it is like to live and cope with mental illness.
As Marlena shares in her talk at our Peace of Mind Speaker Series, we can challenge stigma surrounding mental health through conversation. Marlena’s mental illness art does just this. She is helping to change the conversation around mental health, and we are so grateful she is a part of the PeaceLove family.

►ABOUT THE PEACELOVE SPEAKER SERIES EVENT
On May 21st, 2015 the Peace of Mind Speaker Series brought together leaders in the mental wellness space to share their stories and the work they are doing to help create peace of mind in the world. The event featured a full day of compelling storytellers, live performances, breakout sessions, food, cocktail party, opportunities to meet the speakers, and a lively atmosphere.
Stories have the power to positively transform the way we think about mental health which is why 100% of the proceeds from this event supports CREATORS, providing life-changing expressive arts experiences to communities in need.

Thanks all for your kind words!

This was simply amazing. Thank you for speaking. It helped me and made me happy. You rock.

Thanx Marlena. Great talk! Speaks volumes to me. And it made me laugh! Seeing a person with depression as a human being first from the therapist's point of view - One of the missing links to a holistic healing for sure. Take care and all the best*
