The Neuro Blooms project began with my mixed media paintings based on brain scans of people experiencing different mental health conditions. I’m compelled by the beauty of PET scans, as well as their power to convey the brain’s role in mental illness. This project has personal roots in my own experience with major depression as well as my mother’s struggle with bipolar disorder.

They are enamel and metal with two pins and rubber backers on the back. They measure about 1 1/2" tall and 1" wide.
