Spoonie Warrior and Falconer @hannahcrazyhawk shares her #PAINTUDES for Pain Awareness Month. @topricinfibrocream @topricin ❤️ ⠀ ⠀ Birds have been there for me in my darkest times. I capture photos of birds because they bring me life. Over a decade ago I took my relationship with birds of prey deeper. I began volunteering at The Alaska Raptor Center. I took the emergency call phone for injured eagles. I spent years rehabilitating raptors and other wild birds. I became enamored with the behavior and training of birds of prey. Soon after my eagle-wrangling adventures, I acquired my falconry license. Falconry is my greatest love, joy, and obsession. The birds I have trained have brought me more healing than anything else in my life.⠀ ⠀ I have been chronically ill for the majority of my life. My trauma, pain, and suffering constantly push my mind and body to dark places. Despite my anguish, I continue to transmute my pain into art. The artistic drive runs so deep in my blood that I must be creating something or else I feel I will literally be no one. My urge to narrate and educate through my art is vital.⠀ ⠀ Join our movement for Pain Awareness Month!
