My 13 year old niece and I teamed up to make this painting of Nezuko from Demonslayer! She did an amazing job and I hope to start doing anime commissions with her so she can experience making money from her passion. Hope you like it!3yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/nextfuckinglevel
They Call Themselves Christians, by me. Acrylic and Watercolor on Bristol. 2023.1yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw
A year ago, I joined this sub and shared my art and my story about how I'd been molested by a Ministerial Servant when I was a child. Thru the kindness of you all, I gained the courage to seek justice. Soon I'll be telling my story in court. I am ready, and here's my newest painting. Thank you all3yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw
I started this new piece last night. This isn't the entire piece, but I wanted to share since I haven't posted for so long.3yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/arttocope
This is my first post here. I'm an adult survivor of CSA and an ex-member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. I have used artwork as an outlet for my pain for most of my life. This piece is called The Ashamed, painted last year. Thanks for looking4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/arttocope
It's been a while since I've shared my artwork here. A lot has changed this year, as I'm sure it has for everyone. My experience with JW'S still influences my work, and this piece shows that quite a bit. I call it The Weight of Guilt and it helped me cope with being shunned by my PIMI brother.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw

The Unbirthing, by me, mixed media on bristol, 2022. It's time for me to rest now.2yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/arttocope
I painted this almost 4 years ago, during a time when I first tried to face the harsh reality of what happened to me as a JW child. Sadly, 4 years ago (and almost 10 years after my unfortunate circumstance), I simply was not strong enough to speak it yet. I was an innocent thoroughly silenced.5yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw
She Was Here, by me, Charcoal and Watercolor, 2018. I created this after I told my story to someone I loved dearly... and I reached out for help.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw

I never actually came up with a title for this one... So any ideas would be awesome! I made this in early 2018 with ink and charcoal, when I was constantly battling suicidal thoughts. When the piece was done, I tucked it away and let it be out of sight, out of mind. Enjoy.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw
I made this short story long ago. It helped me to come to terms with my depression and suicidal thoughts after being shunned and ultimately leaving the WT. I call it The Oldest Friend.

Hello. I just learned about this sub from r/adultsurvivors. This is my first post here. I began drawing as a kid because therapy was not an option for me, and it has been my way of processing my trauma ever since. This is one that I called Inocere, made last year. Thanks for looking.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/cptsdcreatives
Hi. This is my first post here. Please remove if not allowed... I'm a survivor, and as a kid I began teaching myself to draw pictures therapeutically because therapy was not an option for me. I'm 28 now, and this is one of my recent paintings, called As Happy As Can Be. I hope you like it.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/adultsurvivors
I wanted to share this with you all. It ended up being a self-portrait, entitled The Long Way Home. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/adultsurvivors

First post! Thoughts, comments and critiques welcomed. All of Me 2018 Acrylic on Bristol, 19x245yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/transartspace
I won't post the full pic (I think it's on my profile if you want to dig) and it's NSFW, but I wanted to share these details. This painting is very personal to me, and it's one I have hanging in my studio. I call it Vehement, and it helped me process a lot of deep-seated anger...4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw
Currently working on this piece, hoping to steer a bit further from my habit of using hard outlines on the human body... Constructive critique and advice is invaluable. Thank you.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/ArtCrit

As Happy As Can Be, 2019. To everyone who may be suffering in silence; remember that you are stronger than you know. Sometimes hiding behind a smile is the best way we can protect ourselves, but don't forget to take care of your heart. Keep fighting. You are loved.4yr ⋅ Hellevan ⋅ r/exjw
