Letting Go
I’ve been working hard to free myself of some great emotional burdens this vacation. This is the happiest I have felt in a while. All this time I think what I really needed was some space, some perspective. Even my dreams reflect my healing. I have written in my journal daily. Some of the words have found their way on Instagram posts because I am unafraid to share these deeper parts of me, it is what an artist does after all. I’ve also written multiple pages in my novel. Much like an archeologist, I have excavated many ideas for new paintings from within the deepest parts of my soul. inspiration is flowing out of me faster than I have the ability to capture it. ⠀⠀⠀

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.
