Hello, I operate the small artist booth called Sweet Moon Dreams. The reason for this name is to connect with people through art and let people know they are not alone in their mental issues. “Sweet Dreams” is because I believe everyone deserves to have something nice or comforting and allow them relaxation and sweet dreams. And the moon part, is so that people know, That the bad things in life will pass, like the phases of the moon. The bad and negative is just a phase that we have to pass through. My goal is to help people through art and offer support to those who need it mentally. I want to express who I am through my art and eventually help the world one day. I hope one day to make a positive difference in life through art. I also cosplay and love to cosplay at art events, I have been cosplaying for over 12 years now. I make sensory friendly plushies for all ages, and cater a variety of neurodiverse friendly arts. I have a lot of hand sewn plushies that I do that are super soft and great for anxiety.

Bio
My name is Erika, I go by Eri to my friends. I am Autistic and do have ADHD, I also have several other mental health challenges that I am dealing with daily, and some of those challenges are some serious topics. But One thing that has always kept me going and always seems to help me is having art as an outlet, no matter the form of art, no matter how I get to express myself. Art has been one constant support in my life that allows me to express myself and show the world beauty through pain. I’ve had my share of challenges in life, but I always believe in being kind to people, you never know the day someone is having. I’m sort of a jack of all trades when it comes to things I know how to do. I keep busy a lot because of my ADHD, and I do go nonverbal from time to time, this itself can be challenging, but its not the end of the world. I maybe nonverbal at times, but I am fully capable of understanding what you say. My goal in life is to just make a positive difference where I can and maybe one day make a positive difference in the world helping people through art.
