I have always had a love hate relationship with my phone. Lately I’ve needed even more space from it. I frequently leave it in another room or keep it on DND. I read a book called 24/6 in which the author writes about having one phone free day a week. I like most of my weekend that way. I need uninterrupted creative time. My week is all about reacting to constant texts, slack messages, emails, phone calls. I feel like I’m being controlled by it. I don’t like that feeling and so I rebel on the weekends and take the control back.

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.
