So, I started this with just the intent on making some money selling my paintings, but then I got to thinkin'..... There are some topics in life that are so tragic, so horrific, nobody wants to hear about them and that's why no one talks about them. But what do you do with all the feelings and thoughts and questions you have when there's no one there to listen?
What I did,was instead of writing my autobiography, or seeing a shrink (which honeslty I probably could have used at the time) I decided to paint my life story. These works of art, are true stories from my life. Some sad, some embarrassing, some funny, but that's all the things life are. I didn't create them to be judged (though I'm sure I will be) and that's ok. When you put your life out there for the world to see, that's what you will get, people's opinions, and I will take whatever you have to say to thought.

I heard someone say once that the more times you keep telling your story the less power it has over you and it becomes just a story. I can't tell you how absolutely true that is.
Whatever it is, it happened to you and for it to be real and for you to process it you may need to tell that story a million times. But it happened to you. And it mattered.
