The Canvas Is Your Mirror

"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. ​
