What I Know

I came to this work, not through therapy, or a doctorate, but through a bucket of paint. I didn't hear a calling, and I wasn't particularly gifted at art. Color became my vehicle for self-actualization not because I loved decorating, but because using paint colors to make myself feel at home changed how I felt about the world. ​I built a dream of beauty, belonging , then shared my knowing with others by helping them do the same. That's how I belonged, became, and beared a life of shared dreams.
