Art by J. R. Welch

"I didn't learn to make art; I survived, and the art showed up. Everyone I draw is a memory tying to breathe and a pain trying to heal, much like the courage to lead that comes from within. This journey of creation, guiding us towards healing." - J. R. Welch

Artist Note

Charcoal and Memory

I never studied technique, but the charcoal moved anyway, dragged by memory, instinct, and ache. The images I draw emerge from a place before polish, shaped by survival more than skill. I draw like I remember: fragmented, distorted, honest. This is art from the hidden, the untrained, unfiltered, and unwilling to look away.
