Over the past few months, I have been navigating the feeling of stagnation from the old, and awaiting the clarity needed to move into the new. I’ve felt disimpassioned and frozen in the pursuit of perfection, unable to paint or share my work. It’s difficult to enter my studio when I’m in this state. In psycho spiritual artist speak— I’m blocked and I’ve been taking time away to try to recover my sense of self, my sense of power. I am back to moving slowly, now, forming new pathways for creative release, and trying to be gentle with myself. Maybe I needed this time away from creating in order to recalibrate, but it’s led me to see that the way I have been working is no longer working for me. Sharing my art has always been an audacious act, but it turned into paralysis. So I want to re-wire the creative act for myself. I am in the process of creating a place where mistakes and imperfections are necessary! A place where I can learn to love to create again.
All of this to say—I feel a deep need to release some energy that I’ve been holding on to. I will be pushing through the resistance to share and releasing my 2022 paintings for my e-mail subscribers bidding. I haven’t been able to show these pieces enough love in my creative paralysis, and I want to show them off one last time. I did this bidding format last year and was super pleased at the ability to get discounted art to you, so I hope you’ll participate again.
I’ll be sending the access code via my e-mail newsletter next week, so please subscribe at the link in bio, and you’ll hear from me soon. 🕊
