As a little girl growing up in rural NY, I loved to paint
and socialize. In high school I was voted most artistic, but as I went to
college something shifted. I exchanged my individuality for “fitting in”. I changed from an Art major to Humans Services. During my social work
classes I learned that I liked helping kids, so I transferred into a Special
Education program. I got a job as a teacher but I missed painting. I missed my
creative individuality. Then after many years of teaching and starting a
family, I was yearning to paint again. I started painting and began to connect
to my inner self through Intuitive painting. It felt natural to paint as I did
as a child. What happened next was unexpected and wonderful. I went through a
transformation spiritually and physically.
I was able to de stress and tame the negative voices in my head. What happened on the canvas transferred into
every facet of my life. Taking the time for me was enough to recharge my soul
and as a result: I was a better mom, wife, and friend. There was one message that kept coming up…
Connect!
First it was just a whisper in my head while doing yoga or a
scribbling in my journal. Then it grew and I was seeing the word connect
everywhere. My art is so personal to me and my growth, but I realized that it
is not my gift to keep and to hide. I must face my fears of rejection and be
vulnerable. Trust my inner guide and live my purpose to share and connect with
others, so they may find their message.
