Shawna K. Lindsey
Shawna K. Lindsey came to H*Art Gallery as a volunteer with our Low-Vision group art expression class for artists with blindness or low vision. She soon realized that she found comfort and healing amidst her fellow artists and decided to share her story and her talents, joining as an exhibiting artist. Here is her story, in her words: "I was born in Knoxville, TN. I have suffered from PTSD for 50 years resulting from childhood sexual abuse. I joined an oppressive, legalistic cult when I was 16. I came to faith in Jesus when I was 20, but spend the next 26 years in the cult. I was misdiagnosed and medicated for Bipolar Disorder. After my father's suicide, a slow healing process from my PTSD began. I married, raised 3 children, finished by B.S. in Speech Pathology in 1989, and went to law school in 1995. In 2008, I was able to go to seminary. God opened my eyes and led me out of the cult in 2009. I now proclaim redemption, freedom, and grace through Jesus; He is my emancipator and liberator! Art, music, and writing have brought me healing and hope throughout life's journey. My husband and I have 5 children and 9 grandchildren! I work as a substitute teacher."
