Focus
One of the things that I struggle with when I want to make art is focus. As soon as I walk into my studio my brain starts firing in a thousand different directions. I think about all of the possible projects and this paralyzes me. I break the paralysis by working on something abstract and small such as a resin piece. If that doesn’t work, I tend to get into project management mode and plan all of the projects out. I hate to admit it but social media also helps me stay focused. If you look closely at my profile, you may notice a pattern. Keeping up with this pattern makes me work on pieces in a certain order and the order helps.

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.
