Art is a window into my soul
The original to this painting is available for sale $1200.
In the winter of 2014, after being diagnosed with Chronic Adrenal Fatigue, I became reacquainted with an old friend called Art.
I was asked by a therapist to consider what I used to do for fun, play, and enjoyment as a little girl. The first picture that popped into my mind was of me sitting at my kitchen table around the age of 4 or 5 coloring in my coloring book. Then the memories of coloring, drawing, and painting throughout my childhood and into my teens flooded my mind. But when and why did I stop?
My senior year of highschool was the last time I had colored, drawn, or painted. I did, what I see so many people do, and stopped doing art shortly after school. The story I told myself after getting so-so grades, comparing my drawings with the students next to me, judging my clay sculptures against other’s work, and not being able to paint a perfect picture is, “I’m not an artist.” So I stopped doing art.
That winter of 2014, after talking this out with my therapist, I gave myself permission to take up art again. The first thing I wanted to do for fun was paint! So I got out my paints, brushes, and canvas and began to explore, experiment, and follow my intuition. I called it Intuitive Art. It wasn’t going to get graded, I had nothing to compare it to, and I didn’t have to do anything but enjoy the process of playing with paint. It felt like freedom!
Painting was the door to exploring and experimenting with so many other artistic mediums. I have been having so much fun trying different things out! I do art when I’m bored, when I’m sad, when I’m angry, when I’m confused, when I’m lost, or when I just want to do something playful. It has truly become a window into my soul depending on the day, month, or year in my life.
I don’t have much formal education in art except for what I learned in high school and a few in-person and online intuitive art classes I’ve taken. Most of the creations come from inner inspiration, emotions, curiosity, experimentation, and playing around.
After a long time of getting requests for my work, I finally created prints and now sell them at local shops around Snohomish County including Schack in downtown Everett and Crow in downtown Edmonds. I also sell online through Etsy. In addition, I occasionally sell at a local market.
I am so humbled and touched by people’s interest in my art. Thank you so much for your support!
