"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." Audre Lorde To be honest, I'm afraid of a lot of things. I'm afraid of being seen. I'm afraid of not being seen. But mostly, I'm afraid of not stepping into my power. Today I am extremely grateful for my 3-week Organic Painting Residency at Arquetopia in Puebla, Mexico. The experience reminded me of a promise I made to myself nearly 15 years ago when I walked away from a relationship that ended in physical abuse and a job at a law firm that sucked all the life out of me: To be a happy, successful, extremely well-fed artist, and to do it on my own terms. My paintings, my workshops, it's all rooted in transformation because that's how it all started for me. The Canvas Is Your Mirror organic pigments on canvas 40 x 60 in. Comments are closed.
