Jai Mitchell is a self-taught artist who found that creative breakthroughs through painting can be helpful to overcome fear, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. “Rana Ballerina” is a portrait of the artist’s sister, who loved to dance and found joy in ballet. Both Rana and Jai experienced sexual abuse as children. Rana passed away last year. As a survivor of child abuse, Jai Mitchell is a passionate advocate for children. He strives to raise awareness of the lasting effects of child abuse, so Greater Richmond’s SCAN’s mission is important to him.
