I want women to know that they don’t need to be approved by society in order to be valued. I feel like society has created so many impossible expectations and rules for women to adhere to in order to be considered a “perfect woman”.
Creating art for years, my healing began to happen in ways I didn't even realize at first. For many years I saw art as a skill, when really it was my passion. Now I paint to escape, getting so immersed that it works like a meditation, taking me away from tortured thoughts and unnecessary outbursts.
The number one thing I would say to a new artist looking for advice is, create what you know. Paint, draw, or mold something that has meaning to you. Think of something that you’ve experienced and feel passionate about and let it out through your art.
