C89.5 fm presents Coping 101: Blooming through Art w/
Cristina Martinez - part of a student-hosted series
capturing Artist Mental Health Stories. The
Tacoma-born, Seattle-based artist - and soon-to-be mother of three
- uses her work to amplify voices of women and celebrate the often
untold stories of black and brown people. In this episode Cristina
discusses parenting, the power of art and therapy in handling
emotions like loneliness or grief, and digs into her recurring
theme of blooming to express the journey we all take
toward our most authentic selves.
With support from 4Culture and Seattle
Children's, Coping 101's Artist Mental Health
Stories amplify voices from King County's cultural sector to
empower individual artists, uplift the creative community and
destigmatize mental health from a teen's perspective. No matter our
age or background we all face challenges, and there are many
healthy ways to find balance. Get started with more episodes and
