Art is a Process, art is healing, art is spiritual
Visual art is one of my oldest, most trusted tools for self-awareness, accessing my subconscious, and personal growth and healing.
Part of why I started doing public art, was precisely because I was so afraid of being exposed in an unfinished state. I have a lot of fears, and little satisfies me more than wisdom, so I've learned that if I'm really, really scared of something which I sense could cure me, I probably should just face it head-on. Live painting, murals, face painting, etc. all engage me with strangers in a beautifully vulnerable way, and inspires me (almost) beyond words! |
Life is a journey, always in process, always changing. How do we navigate its changing tides, its transitions, its falling-to-pieces-and-transforming again and again?
How do we decide what to focus on, what is most meaningful to us, what we care about, what we want to strive for in this life? How can we learn who we are, our purposes here on earth, remember what lessons we are working with and embody who we are yearning to become? How can we use our innate creativity to transform pain, trauma, grief, anger, sadness, confusion (and joy!) into something that heals and enlivens us? |
I am fascinated by the story art can tell, both through the process and the end result. While I have mostly made paintings for myself, I am very excited to be entering the rich and colorful world of helping others tell their stories through art, which allows me to intimately understand the beauty and complexity of other people (one of my absolute favorite things in life!), see their vision through, and help them understand themselves more deeply and compassionately.
