May Flowers: From Seed to Bloom A Year of Growth Through Art – A Collaborative Exhibit on Mental Health & Healing

[Torrington, CT] – This May, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Primetime House and artist/art therapist; Jenna Gonzalez present May Flowers: From Seed to Bloom—an art exhibit that captures the transformative power of creativity and storytelling in the journey toward healing.

Over the past year, participants have engaged in a therapeutic art-making process, using creative expression to turn pain into resilience and struggle into connection. Through painting, mixed media, and sculpture, they have explored personal narratives, reframing negative experiences into stories of growth and renewal. The result is a deeply moving collection of artwork that embodies the strength of the human spirit.

This marks the third year of collaboration between artist/art therapist Jenna Gonzalez and Primetime House and the second gallery exhibition showcasing the work of clients engaged in this transformative process. As both facilitator and curator, Gonzalez emphasizes the importance of seeing these works displayed in a professional gallery setting, validating each artist’s journey and highlighting the role of creative expression in mental health recovery.

“Like the blooms of spring, this exhibit reminds us that growth is always possible, even after the harshest seasons,” says Gonzalez. May Flowers invites the public to witness and celebrate these stories—of courage, transformation, and renewal—through art.
