Columbus, Ohio
I’ve been thinking a lot about Columbus. I love it so much...Why did I leave? Looking back, the move to San Francisco was necessary. I needed to run away and start over. I needed to figure out who I was without constantly being reminded of my past. I regret losing touch with many of the people I cared about but I desperately needed that distance. When you are surrounded by people who “know” you, it is hard to grow into who you want to be. Now that I have an understanding of who I am, I have a strong urge to reconnect with people from my past and I have a strong urge to visit Columbus more.

Color is a focus of my work for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is for healing. My father was an angry and violent man. He took out his rage on his family daily and I took it upon myself to protect my mother and brother from him by becoming the focus of his fury. We didn’t have much, but my mother filled our home with colorful art to bring radiance into an otherwise dark place. I followed in her footsteps and escaped into vibrant art of all shapes and forms. Getting into the flow of mindful art creation has been the single most important part of my healing. I hope to share the happiness that colorful art brings me with others, especially children.
