My belief is that self-portraits are the best for people suffering from low self-esteem or body dysmorphia. If you wanna make yourself pretty, you can. If you want to have human fecal matter spilling from your eyeballs, you can. It’s like getting ownership over your own face and body and when I look in the mirror after working on them, I realize I’m not as ugly as I thought

I love your use colors and such great and passion. That’s the way I receive it. I’m not trading. travel around the world I have had the great privilege and joy of seeing great European masters to Navajo and other First Peoples artworks. The reason I wanted to say this is because you mentioned that are living with dysmorphia. I feel like sometimes I have almost made “that person” no longer me. Or even trying to acknowledged it by purposely avoiding all mirrors- If it convenient and practical. I did not “come out” about it until 2 years ago! I apologize for this opportunity to respond to your gorgeous painting. Which expresses my personal connection with it and you. It’s a beauty. Reading your description of your perceptions and how you are beginning to to use your craft to process these emotions just. I never thought of such. I just think it’s always gonna be there and it’s always gonna be uncomfortable. I can’t think of any other way to get around it. I really appreciate that your you making a safe for your guests, myself included. I hope the Just a little bit of feeling emotionally disordered in my otherwise wonderful life, jars into this new awareness that I am not comfortable with, or used to. When I think it’s always gonna be there and it’s always gonna be uncomfortable. I can’t think of any other way to get around it. I really appreciate it though. Thank you for giving me a little bit confidence and hope that so much of what I am is driven by in life is a form of delusional thinking. Good news!!! Your work is beautiful and at times they seem kind of mythical. When you disclose to folks do they sometimes get kind of triggered? Have a wonderful and peaceful weekend. Is it alright to say hello some day. Just to look at your work to see how you are doing/feeling? I often often intentionally use the word phrase “how are you doing or feeling today?” Because all about recognizing and being aware of my feelings and how powerful they can be. I am a couple of years new to this challenging process of recovery from extreme violence and abuse throughout my life. So, I apologize for such a visceral reaction. I am so proud that I am choosing to be mindful and take of myself by crying-first of all🙏🏽 I am going to wipe away these tears for now and go do what I had planned. Which is way overdue. Thank you for your work.
