I hit a major major emotional creative block during my final year of high school, and never really found my way back to painting. I expressed my creativity through other means, but always felt a big wall when I even thought about painting. It’s taken a journey through fashion, music, drugs, 4 cities, 2 nervous breakdowns, but I’ve finally begun to dissolve the block. And it feels brilliant!
The best part is that I’m realising that the time in between wasn’t wasted. I’m seeing a new level to my work that wasn’t there before. A spirit of music, the depth of the life I’ve lived, it’s all there.
So I plan to have an exhibition. I’m going to be gentle with myself. No deadlines. Just one canvas after another, working on it when I feel the desire. Until I have enough to organise an event. I can see it in my mind.
