Delaware artist Rebekah Crager shares how living with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) inspired her to turn pain into purpose through art. Through her work and participation in The People’s Artist competition, Crager hopes to spark conversations about resilience, creativity, disability, and the healing power of self-expression. Her paintings, often featuring symbols of growth in difficult places, remind viewers that strength can take many forms and that hope can still flourish through life’s challenges.
