Original Paintings

I interned with an Illustration Rep in NYC back in 2003. I mostly delivered portfolios on foot from one side of the city to the other. One day, I passed a man on the corner yelling at people as they walked by. As I approached him to turn the corner and he looked me square in the eye - "Lady, you're your own worst enemy!" he shouted at me. He wasn't wrong...I was in a horrible place at that time of my young adulthood. My face probably said it all. I had been struggling with my mental health since my teenage years. Depression overpowers at times and the struggle to stay positive is real.
When I'm stuck in the darkness - I search for color. Flowers and nature bring a sense of hope.
These are my Flower Heads - think good thoughts and flowers will grow out of your head. Gentle reminder to stay on the path of positivity.
