I like to create abstract art. It was seemingly to me anyway, my emotions. The good, the bad and the deplorable! I was taking myself off psych meds that I'd been over prescribed for 30+ years. I started my journey in May 10, 2024. I was almost ready to give in and then I started "doodling" and as 1 day went to the next, the art I was doing was telling a story. A story of my emotions. I've lost a great many people and things in life that near took me out. Buy once my ArtByEmotion started.
Where do you find inspiration?My emotions I'm feeling. Anger and sadness among the MANY I've experienced. Sometimes I don't even have a name for what I'm feeling. So I make up a new word! Haha. Well. It's kept me off the narcotics I have been prescribed for years. I feel rejuvenated and I'm way more the girl I use to be back in the day! Fun😂
What would you do with $25,000?If help the homeless people here in my small town (pop. 1000) if that. There's a solution that I have that's worked for me when it comes to addiction, so if kike to have a little workshop to help others do some Emotion Art themselves!
