Who we are & why we are

Welcome to the gallery site of Broken Light Collective. We are artists of all levels and abilities who are affected by mental illness. We create and we share our work for the therapeutic benefits to us, as well as others who may be struggling and feeling scared and alone. Together we can move from disconnected to collective.

Photo taken by Thirdeyemom, a survivor of severe postpartum depression. She used travel, writing, and photography, in addition to professional help, to fight her way out of the darkness. See more of her inspiring story here.

About this photo: My family lives in Tuscon, Arizona and over Christmas I had the pleasure of hiking around my most favorite natural escape: Sabino Canyon. I caught this photo on a perfect day and love the brilliant, golden hues of the trees. It is amazing how beautiful the desert can be. Every season is like a new surprise.

Seeking submissions for the Broken Light Collective. Send photos today.

      Yes, true beauty does exist. That is why I love to hike, run and be outdoors! That is how I calm myself down. I especially enjoy mountains. So much solitude and peace!
