Artist, Storyteller and Mother to Miracles

Savy Jane O’Malley uses her art, writing, and social media to spread hope.

In 2017, just as her artistic career was taking off, her twin boys were born at 24 weeks, facing unimaginable odds. After 101 days in the NICU, they survived—shaping Savy’s mission to support families in similar situations, advocate for maternal mental health, and shine a light on the challenges of raising a child with a disability.
