Justine Kovacs is a mixed media collage artist whose creative practice emerged as a vital source of healing on her journey through sobriety. Nearly twenty years ago, introduced to art by a therapist, Justine discovered a space where imperfection was welcomed—a place to process, reflect, and transform her experience with addiction.

In her first year of recovery, art became her “drug of choice,” allowing her to navigate cravings and emotions through powerful, hands-on expression. By exploring a variety of materials and techniques, Justine builds layered compositions that reflect both the struggles and triumphs of her personal story.

Each piece she creates is an act of reclaiming her past, with the hope that viewers, too, will find solace and the courage to embrace their own imperfect paths. Through vibrant collage, Justine invites others to join her in the ongoing work of healing and self-acceptance.
