There are times I struggle with depression. It’s often a result of chronic physical pain from arthritis and from migraines…as well as from the maddening sounds of my tinnitus.
Therefore, I turn to my Art as my primary emotional therapy.
In my third painting, from my series “I Dreamt I Was A Bird But I Could Not Fly”, I created a visual metaphor of my physical pain. Once I felt boundless, soaring like a fearless hawk; only to eventually have my wings clipped… entwining & binding me to the ground.
In “Escape into My Garden” I use the tactile elements of molded paper, words & flowers from my own garden, to represent the therapeutic physicality in processing my feelings in my personal Art Therapy. Meanwhile, the visual of a person climbing inside this magnificent flower best expresses the Emotional Escapism & happiness that’s often derived from ‘Garden Therapy’.
“Escape into my World” incorporates a myriad of elements which have brought joy to my life: My art as my visual Storytelling of our world & our human condition. As a woman who loves looking at the stars, wondering how we fit within our vast universe, while spending time in, on or around water, appreciating how precious our Earth’s water really is. And I am also a musician who has found that playing flute has gifted me friendships (over many decades) with like-minded creative musical souls…most of whom also share a love for creating art.
