Christina Goldstein Artist Bio

I am Christina Goldstein, an artist, and a disabled veteran. My journey through spinal cord injuries, loss of mobility, advanced neurosurgery, and an incurable muscle and movement disorder continues to be fraught with intense pain and challenges with accomplishing basic daily tasks. The process of creating art gives me a purpose for the therapy required for mobility, and changes my focus from anguish and pain to effectively working through and managing it instead.

I investigate the power of healing through the process of doing.  This allows me to create tangible evidence of both the struggles and successes of living with a movement disorder. I have tried many different kinds of art expression and in doing that learned that there is no right method for all veterans or people that are struggling with pain, PTSD, or many other factors and need a release.
