WELCOME TO MAMA MARINA
As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent writer, Angie Brogan engages with an array of artistic expression, including creative writing, as well as traditional and digital art. Mama Marina blog focuses on the intersection of artistic expression and trauma healing.
A lifelong lover of orcas, Angie began creating art at the age of five after seeing Free Willy and setting a personal goal of doodling the best orca in her friend group. Her most recent art projects still often include orcas and marine imagery. This blog is dedicated to the majestic matriarchs of their species and to badass human mothers breaking the patterns of intergenerational trauma.
