About

Sarah Bigham lives in Maryland with her kind chemist wife, their three independent cats, and an unwieldy herb garden. In 2015, she began writing about her experiences and painting, using dissolved medications and supplements as watercolors. Her creative endeavors are a distraction from the pain of several recent diagnoses and have been the silver lining of her medical journey.

“My internal world is quite a different landscape from the public persona I maintain. My current writing is influenced, in large part, by my experiences as a “healthcare consumer” with complex medical conditions that are not visible to those around me. ”

“My hope is that my work may inspire empathy and compassion for those living with chronic pain. Sometimes the deepest, most unbearable pain is the kind you cannot see. ”
