“If Walls Could Talk”
An emotionally powerful room at Cork’s Place utilizing free form paint. 17 years of grief and healing splattered on the walls and ceiling.
“Picasso 2021”
The left side of the painting is the side of me that I show the world. I used lighter, more realistic colors to show how I try to portray normality. The right side is the side of me that I hide from the world. I used dark gross colors to show how disgusted I felt about this side. You can see that this side is wrapped in vines with thorns. They are starting to climb into the outside me. It gets exhausting to hide mental health struggles from others; sometimes they start to show, to leak through the facade. I’ve realized that mental health can’t always be contained and that is what my Picasso is focusing on this year.
“Picasso 2021” and “If Walls Could Talk” will be available for purchase. Auction opens Monday, May 3 and will conclude Friday, May 21.
