This painting was inspired by The Fates after seeing Hadestown. It made me think about how often life can feel like itâs being pulled by outside forcesâlike something else is deciding the path before I even get a say.
In my work, I kept returning to that idea through the body:
covering the eyes as brain fog, or that scattered ADHD focus that makes everything feel just out of reach.
covering the mouth as the frustration of either talking too much or suddenly feeling unable to find words at all, especially when embarrassment takes over.
whispering into the ears as those quiet lies that show up uninvitedâtelling me I canât accomplish what Iâm trying to build.
All of it tied to the way ADHD can shape how I move through the world, and how easily it can feel like Iâm not fully in control of my own direction.
On a lighter noteâI just hit 200 followers, and that honestly means a lot to me. Thank you for being here and following along as I figure things out and share my work.
Finishing the semester with some uncertainty about what comes next, but also a lot of excitement. Iâm looking forward to a summer of more outdoor painting, sketching, and letting things unfold a little more freely than they have been.
Hereâs to not knowing exactly where itâs going, but continuing anyway.
