It was such a lovely event, filled with positive and supportive energy both from the instructor and the group. I highly recommend taking this class with Susan (such a kind and patient soul), because her supportive and encouraging feedback allows you to grow and be inspired to keep working on your art. The skills and technique translated was well received and will be used in future artwork! I look forward to doing more classes with her and the group!

Title or Location: Fragmented witnesses
My paintings explore identity shaped through trauma, survival, awakening, and transformation. Working intuitively, I allow figures and emotions to emerge organically through layers of texture, distortion, and symbolic imagery. Themes of hypervigilance, fragmentation, dysfunctional family roles, and emotional survival appear throughout the work, reflecting both personal experience and broader human psychology.I use expressive forms, abstraction, and layered surfaces to create emotional tension

My paintings are my means of escape. The world can be so serious and anxiety producing. I prefer to live in a space with more joy and light. These golden retriever brothers always provided me such happiness. If they even bring a momentary smile, then I have achieved my goal.
