To be perfectly honest, this project has given me more than I could’ve hoped for. Over the four years that it took to create, (avoidance, maybe?!?), I healed so many past traumas, many of which were beyond my own conscious awareness. I’m happy to say that I’m not the girl that started this project anymore.ContinueContinue reading “Does Inner Child Artist Oracle do what I say it does?”

How Inner Child Artist Oracle Came To Be: The Progression of the Process is Sticky Sometimes
My inner child is truly enjoying herself now! The deck started out small, and was meant for personal use only, but it transformed itself many times as I went along. It soon became huge and MESSY!!! And that is OK, as the process for creating it felt huge and messy. There was lots of scribblingContinueContinue reading “How Inner Child Artist Oracle Came To Be: The Progression of the Process is Sticky Sometimes”

Inner Child Artist: WIP!

What in the actual fuck is going on?
I have been absent. And I have been absent in more than just my website… I have been absent in my life in general. I must admit that losing my father has been the worst thing that’s ever happened to me. It threw my life into a tailspin. A tailspin? A tailspin implies that everythingContinueContinue reading “What in the actual fuck is going on?”

I only recorded it so that I could type it quickly without looking back-and-forth at my little piece of paper.ContinueContinue reading “I wrote my Dad’s obituary! 😭”
Art therapy is the shit, (if anything is at this point…)

I was practicing facial expressions, like I do every night, and I usually throw them away, but this night was different. What I drewContinueContinue reading “Art therapy is the shit, (if anything is at this point…)”

Once My Sister, Now My Muse
Art has gotten me through the hardest of times. When my sister died three years ago, I was at a loss. I mean a literal loss of everything, including my mind, and especially my mind. It was a “Tower moment.” The problem was that I had never even considered her death before and I justContinueContinue reading “Once My Sister, Now My Muse”
