What is art to you?

To me art is therapy, but it is not created during negative energy moments.
I want to grow as an artist and refine my skills, but I will never lose my individuality. I shouldn’t have to sacrifice myself to make the drones happy.
I create portals of whimsy and delight when I feel good, happy, positive. When I am a glum chum I don’t want to create, I don’t have the energy, I am struggling to survive the day.
Mental Health Matters. Not everyone’s brain functions the same way. Some of us are struggling to breathe, to think, to survive. Life is not all cut and dry.
So I say this to the people who feel the need to make anyone feel less than….think about a time when someone made you feel that way. I know I have experienced it more often than is necessary in my own life. I am too old and too tired to rent space in my head to what people said….or how they said it. Tone matters.
I am a happy bubbly person……despite being slightly cursed.
Stop shaking your head in response to my being slightly cursed…I am being serious here…well…as serious as I get that is.
How would you label the fact that I am not able to order the same meal at a restaurant twice? Somehow the quality declines with repetition. It is hard enough to find good places to eat as is….imagine falling in love with something then trying it again and wondering if it is even the same dish. LOL
It makes me sad. I hate paying good money for sad food, but I honestly think part of that is the mood of the person preparing the meal. People are overworked and underpaid. That fuels the negative vibes into everyone’s daily lives.
I don’t understand people wanting SAD FOOD or SAD ART or watching drama filled shows full of negativity and discord. I am sick and tired of all the negativity around me, so I try to create whimsical, bright portals of happiness to encourage myself and others to smile with a warmth in our souls. Some days that really is too much to ask of myself, let alone others…I know.
I did not start creating art with the intention of selling it in 2020, but here we are 4 years and 500+ pieces later, wheeeee!
