bits from an essay on mother wounds, a formative childhood experience that shaped my early relationship with motherhood, & why I’ve been using paintings to hide from writing the last five years
I commend your bravery to share your experiences after being threatened not to speak on them. I hope your transparency is encouraging to others who seek healing and emotional clarity. I pray that you gain more peace and strength on your road to healing.
I truly appreciate you sharing stories such as these. Majority of my childhood and teen years were me hiding behind my art because it helped to soothe the pain and ,as you said, allowed me to hide my feelings in plain sight. Art saved me. You inspired me to paint again to process the pain last year, allowing any memories of my abuser, my narcissistic aunt, to be left in the canvas. Sending you love. You are helping so many of us to honor our truths and to share, too.
I had a lot of big feels reading and viewing this series. My heart wants to hug you so tight. I can relate to so many random bits. First, I’m studying to become at Art Therapist. Your work is exquisite. I just feel these paintings and your writing cuts to the core. No. 2 moves me to literal tears! Born in 1982 with a story for a father and trying to work through all that as well. Probably going to have to take it in doses, but really looking forward to following your work. <3
