We Are Nature

Art is such an incredible platform that enables us to explore, process and release concepts and emotions. There is so much beyond verbal communication. The way that we interact with one another, through body language, gestures, action and energy, and the way plants and animals communicate with us is all non-verbal. Visual communication has always been my preferred and most natural form of communication. Expressing emotions verbally has been a learned practice for me especially the challenging, heavier, shadow emotions. The world we live in can be really unfair, unjust and f*&% up. Through my sufferings including, early childhood education, heartbreak, being laid up and not able to walk for months and my journey through disease, art has been my refuge. 

What is most amazing to me about art is its boundlessness. There are absolutely no rules. Every other medium or platform has some type of boundary; writing:words, music:notes, cooking:ingredients but with art the only limitation is ourselves. The act of expression, being weird, feeling, playing and exploring is medicine for the soul.
