Portfolio mode...

    I have been in full art portfolio mode this week! Adding new artwork, getting bolder with my choices and my colors! And really stepping outside my comfort zone with my choices in art. 

    I was raised to think colors meant something other than what they meant. Colors are a beautiful bold expression of life, vibrancy and boldness. I have also come to the conclusion that I am in LOVE with pattern. I have always been drawn to fun, colorful patterns but in an attempt to, "hide" my body I always made bland solid colored choices. 

    As i've gotten older, I have realized that my body was still going to have fat on it, even if I wore colorful clothes. People were still going to notice that I was a larger person, even if I wore colorful clothing. 

    After I lost 130 pounds, I still had an urge to go for boring clothing. It's been something that i've been having to literally beat out of my brain. It's been a lot of years of fucking up my own brain and I know it doesn't just go away overnight! 

    I am NOW making bolder choices in my life all around! Taking bigger risks, making different fashion choices, traveling more and busting out my creative skills and showing people what I'm really capable of! 

    Today, I am SO grateful for the time i've been able to dedicate to my creativity and I am really excited to see where I go. I am capable of doing amazing things, I just have to keep moving forward and believe that I can do anything. 

    Oh yeah, Happy Memorial Day weekend!
