As long as we live in a society that does not value the feminine way of being, then we will continue to devalue artistic expression because it is encompassed by the umbrella of the feminine.

No matter how insignificant you think your work is, it is sacred because it's a part of you that you are giving out to the world. So take the time you need to create and don't let anything rush you.
Humans have been fine tuned for millions of years to process visual input and assess our surroundings, we are simply programmed this way and we are starting to learn more about how much beauty is really influencing us.
Nature has its growth and bloom period and then there comes a time when it starts to shed, turns inward and goes through a beautiful death so that it’s ready to make space for the eventual arrival of new life.
Our brain gets too comfortable when we stick to one place, sometimes we need to change our surroundings in order to wake it up again.
We have to heal ourselves inside and out, and that can only happen when we are brave enough to question and confront the status quo.
We have been asked to make a big shift in our lives which takes up a lot of energy and mental space.
It takes a curious mind to look beneath the surface and discover new realities…
I have found over the years that one of the best things an artist can do is to suspend any and all judgement on their work.
Start where ever you are, regardless of where that is. Even if that place is anxiety ridden, full of doubts, with a feeling of unworthiness and insecurity.
