Today is #NationalComingOutDay. This is still scary for me to talk about. I had to find my way out of a few closets, first my own when I came out as BI, and then with my partner’s when she came out as Trans. . Coming out both times has been a huge relief. Yes it opens me to people’s negative views and it makes me feel exposed and vulnerable... but it also allows me to love and be loved fully. You can not love behind a mask. Coming out has allowed me to see who really loves the true me and respects my relationship, and who loves me when I pretend, when I am convenient. . I am forever grateful to be able to no longer live a double or triple life. It used to be a little crowded in my head. I know I am privileged to be able to have this freedom and will use it fight for everyone to have it as well. . Let us stand together in the name of love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 . . . #yyz#yyzart #handmade #workinprogress #instagramart #art #artist #arte #artwork #instaartist#instaart #sketch #painting #journal#arttherapy #therapy #innerpeace #portrait #selfportrait #exploration #play #sketch_onn #modernart #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #femalegaze #queergaze#queer#nationalcomingoutday #bivisibility
I remember when I drew this I wanted to capture a pause - a pause when I realize am reactive and disconnected, and I want to reconnect and ground. Kneel down and feel the grass under my fingertips. As the gloomy weather and early sunsets are moving towards Toronto, I feel I need grounding more than ever. Anybody else feeling it? . . . #yyz#yyzart #handmade #workinprogress #instagramart #art #artist #arte #artwork #instaartist#instaart #sketch #painting #journal#arttherapy #therapy #innerpeace #portrait #selfportrait #exploration #play #sketch_onn #modernart #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #femalegaze #queergaze
Reminding myself that my worth is not tied to my creative output. Doing a show has been an awesome experience but also exhausting. It’s ok to take a break to recharge, enjoy the coming of fall colors, and refill my creative energy. . How to you recharge ?
Huge thank you to everyone who came to my show and who bought my art. 🎉😍😘 . I am smiling thinking of everyone who will be hanging their art tonight looking at it happily and day dreaming in front of the colors. . Couldn’t think of a better end to the summer ! . #andnowsleep!!! . . . #yyz#yyzart #handmade #workinprogress #instagramart #art #artist #arte #artwork #instaartist#instaart #sketch #painting #journal#arttherapy #therapy #innerpeace #portrait #selfportrait #exploration #play #sketch_onn #modernart #lifedrawing #figuredrawing #femalegaze #queergaze
