Existential Crisis
For a while I was having an art existential crisis. I felt like I didn’t really have direction and I was all over the place. Is my focus woman? Is it mandalas? Resin? Since I am not a full time artist, I don’t need to define a style and that gives me more freedom. I’m using it to experiment and learn. I’ve been an artist for over a decade and I am still learning every day. Recently, a few of my styles have begun to merge. These unique skills are helping me develop my brand. It will take me some time, but my ultimate goal is to combine as many of my skills as possible. I’d love to paint women on books within resin adorned with mandalas. Something like that. Who knows? All I know is that recently my obsession with art has multiplied. For me it’s the best kind of obsession to have. ⠀⠀

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.
