In 2006 I had a car accident. I hurt my neck, and, I was unable to paint; my neck was damaged but the reason I could not paint was psychological. I literally became physically ill every time I tried. After 10 years of much multi media art, therapy and much change, I was found again. It was like a part of my soul had returned.<\/em> I could paint, and I could paint like a fucking expert. My work became precise, realistic yet still framing identity. It was if my mind had been painting and learning in my head all these years.<\/p>\n

Somewhere in the various forms of expression, there existed a desire to find fuller expression, possibly crossing one and another\u2026 There was a sense of being free and safe to create from grounded acceptance, and knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n

One day, I tried again, and it happened. It flowed out of me. This was the painting that set me free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
