Recently, I had the opportunity to interview with Bold Journey Magazine where I share a bit of my journey; including how and why I started painting.
“In September of 2022, I was suicidal and there was a voice in my head that kept telling me I was a problem. This voice was persistent and didn’t feel like it was my own. Another voice countered that one and told me to pick up a paint brush and a canvas. I listened to the latter voice, thankfully. I found that painting was incredibly cathartic and in that season, felt as necessary to me as breathing. I began painting daily, anywhere between 6-10 hours a day.“
I also shared some of what I hope to accomplish through my art.
“At the core of all my creative endeavors, I am a storyteller. I aim to tell stories of hope, resistance, love, faith, and beauty. I aim to challenge perspectives with my work, in hopes that every person who sees my work will walk away with a nugget of wisdom, curiosity, or different perspective to chew on.“
