My Story
My painting is about freeing myself from a relationship that felt abusive in various ways to me. I carried it all in my chest and when I left it felt like a huge weight was lifted off, like a big release of energy. Freeing myself of the situation helped me regain my true sense of self and my voice and so many other things. I was able to see that I didn’t deserve how I was being treated, that what I was asking for was basic human decency and I wasn’t receiving it. I am still growing and learning from past relationships, but the biggest one is with myself.. knowing what I deserve and continually defining new boundaries that protect that relationship I have with myself.
