I'm a self-taught artist who began painting as a child to soothe my empathetic heart.
I found I can place myself in another's shoes to an extent and I now create artwork with the hope that those who are suffering will find solace in knowing that they are not alone and help those who are not suffering understand these struggles a bit more.

The Long Way Home
Curse Of Calm
This speaks on many levels to me. Visual serenity with lingering of rage shrouded within.
I have a dear friend who is able to maintain her cool even in a figurative house fire. After hearing of her trauma and inner struggles, I couldn't help but be inspired by her elegance and composure. She may never know this was inspired by her, but when she saw it at one of my shows, she bought a print and told me "I just really love this." .

I love how this art speaks to the inner regions usually unseen or noticed. Really makes someone think in a deeper manner as to what someone may be going through now or things of the past that travel along with them. Very well executed work!
Major Houlihan, the only thing shallow in in the blog post is your inability to offer critique without sounding overly selfish and cocky. Her artwork has sold for thousands, and been displayed in shows across the state, but even after working with mentors, and enduring the passion of art for years upon years, she has not gotten lost into the cliche oversaturated side of the industry. She stays true to herself, and there is no deeper means of expression, then being true to ones self.
