The Way I Feel - Self Portraits of an Expanding Consciousness

Behind the Art: The Way I Feel - Self Portraits of an Expanding Consciousness

I would like to dedicate this series to all the seekers and searchers on the path of discovering their own inner truths. It is not an easy road being an emotional pioneer.  Awakening to your own inner emotional guidance system should be a gift and yet for me, it has often felt like a curse at times... especially when I didn’t fully understand what was unfolding deep inside myself. 

“The Way I Feel” is a series I created to explore and document the deep (and often inconsistent) emotional waves that I have experienced all my life. It has been an ongoing struggle to understand and sort out what exactly happens to me when I experience, not only my own emotions, but the emotional energy of others. Emotions and feelings are complex, individual and multi-faceted... and a gift, if you let it be. My work and I are but a mirror... look deep into my heart. What do you see?

I invite you to go find yourself...  sit with each of these pieces and observe the feelings that come up inside of you. What you see and feel will say a lot about you and where you are in regards to your emotions development. Your feelings are the puzzle pieces back to who you really are. Think of these as a living journal of where I have been, emotionally. Have you been here too? These are the songs of my heart. I have learned that emotions are the source of my power and wisdom in this world. And they are the source of yours too. click to read full article
