Navigating and Creating; Using Expression to Heal
I am learning that being creative can help the healing process. Self expression was suppressed in some of my childhood environments. My visual art mediums are drawing/coloring, painting, and photography. My favorite artform is photography. It was something I loved doing as a teenager. I am very grateful I've always had a camera since 1996, I had a second hand kodak - but the first camera that was mine I purchased for myself in 2000. I had rediscovered my love for photography in 2011 with my first "good" digital camera. I am rebuilding my art supply collection and finding instructor lead art classes when I can. I've been taking workshops, attending art therapy groups
Mallory en montgolfière is an homage to my favorite childhood book series, Martine. I love the symbolism of the hot air balloon that I, Mallory, am navigating life with chronic illness while on a healing journey. Part of my healing is reconnecting with the girl who loved books & dreamed to be a writer. I have been reconnecting with literature and different arts that I had troubles to enjoy while I was in survival mode.
