In the quiet corners of my life, where routine often dims the colors of creativity, I've reignited an old flame – my love for art. This reawakening is more than just a return to a hobby; it's a rediscovery of a part of me that had been waiting in the wings. I've always admired abstract art and creating them has always been a way to free myself from the idea of "Perfection."
Perfection is that little voice in your head that expects excellence right from the start. It's relentless and stingy on grace. Often disguised as a way to improve, it can keep us from moving forward, which is to exist and create freely and confidently in our purpose. As artists and creatives, we wrestle with this from time to time, and more often than not, it hinders us from enjoying the process. This journey back to art is about finding my way back to things that I love. It's been a way for me to express myself without realistic imagery because let's face it, stick people is how I "draw" people. In every artwork, I see reflections of this light – a brilliance that shows me the beauty in the world and within myself.
