Amreya Shefa

 “I come from Ethiopia. When we go to school in Ethiopia, we have art class, and I learned how to knit and crochet. I don’t use patterns. I think about what I want to make and I make it. I am creating art because especially for mental health. I am a survivor of domestic violence and rape. Art helped me to not think of the domestic violence. Art heals my mental health and depression. I just want to help other victims of domestic violence. I want to teach them how heal by making art.”
