Notes to Self

As a recovering perfectionist, people-pleasing good girl, I have spent too much of my life focused externally, orienting and adapting myself to others, while losing touch with my own authentic voice, opinions, and desires. This series is an unlearning of those limiting beliefs, and a reconnection to who I am, what I want, and how I want to experience this one and only life. After 5 years of a steady flow of personal development books, podcasts and experts in my ear, I consciously turned inward to let my own voice be the guide. The result was and outpouring of unfiltered thoughts, like conversations with my future self. This collection was something that had to come out of me. Art meets poetry as words dominate the canvas, through paint, embroidery and yarn. The abstract backgrounds are messy, energetic, and passionate, just like the thoughts I hope they spark.
