In 2020 after the Covid pandemic hit the world by surprise, like so many, I was in a state of tension, with bottled-up energy that I needed to release, I felt like I was going in circles, not clear about what direction to take or the next move to make. I felt stuck, in the middle of nowhere. What did I want to do, where did I want to go, who was I really are the questions that started to surface. I remember knowing I needed to create, but what? I didn’t want to overthink so I channeled my inner child.
I AM rose up in my spirit and came forth!
Just Play!
Black Butterfly emerged and infused herself in my mind, body, soul, and spirit, my internal garden was in full bloom. I was compelled to use whatever mediums I could find, whether, watercolors, acrylic paints, pen, markers, or collages to navigate the materials to help breathe life into her wings and to share her story.
I found my internal inherent love language and discovered the very essence of who I am. So, my mission is to TEACH and share the power of art and healing in order to show others how to process pain for purpose starting with the family dynamic of women, youth, children and men.
