Self Taught Watercolor Artist
In 2018, I was having some PTSD during the month of October with all the breast cancer news and pink washing. I decided to try painting as a form of artistic therapy. When I paint, I relax and get into a flow, where time passes and I would never know. Just me, the paints and some good music. I create and let the stress melt away.
