Still Looking Back on the past Year!.....Art as Healing....

The past year brought with it a lot of changes and lessons too !...plus one turning point.... I realized the value of Life much more than I ever had..when my mother in law died in front of me....after battling illness for a long time....

Death is an inescapable truth that humans must all face!....

I have painted in the last year and it was during my Birds in Kenya series that her illness began to take a toll!...Since then, my art journey still continued and somehow Art has a way of healing too....below is what I came up with during the last year and after the sudden death of a close family member....

I realized more than ever what is inside of us never stops being there...I still went back to my brushes during and after that turning point....although it did take some time!......
