JOURNALING: Bare. Naked. Vulnerable. This is what I fear being most yet is what I show the world when they see my work. The artist in me illustrates my emotions and thoughts that are deeply personal. In a sense, I expose myself through my art to reveal aspects of my inner self that are oh-so-fragile. I am not the type of person to be “safe” in my creative endeavors. I don’t always illustrate the greater good . . . a perfect world . . . because it’s not the world we live in and it’s not how I live my life. I don’t want to portray a pristine clean, saccharine sweet life to anyone because it’s simply not how it is. I’m not the perfect wife. I’m not the perfect mother. I’m not the perfect friend. I am not the perfect business woman. I am not a perfect person. I am me and that’s basically all I have to give. I take risks. I break the mold. I rock the boat. I jump in head first. So, this is me. Bare. Naked. Vulnerable. No clothes, no makeup and in need of an appointment to touch up the gray roots in my hair. I have hurt and been hurt. I have cried and been cried to. I have succeeded and I have failed and it’s those failures that I need to learn from and deal with. While I have no delusions of ever living the perfect life, I want to live a happy one and provide a happy one for my family. Perhaps allowing my soul to be bare, too, will help me find the answers I need.


NOTE: Used Texture Magic with huge letter stencils to create "Bare". Journaling is behind photo in a "paper bag book" type fashion.
