Artist Submissions – Sarah Sousa

Sara is a thirty-year-old semi-verbal Neurodivergent autobiographical self-portraiture artist who explores, engages, captures and portrays their disabilities through creativity. Everyday life portraits help create a visual narrative on self-development and building empowerment by embracing their voice, advocacy and pride being a part of a strong yet poorly misunderstood community. Portraits capture vulnerable moments such as sadness, confusion, overwhelm and recovery from burnout after decades of masking conditions.
