Journal Therapy

I started using sketchbooks to journey when I turned 18. The transition to adulthood was tough, and having a place to understand and explore feelings in a healthy way was crucial in my healing. Now, at 40, my journaling has expanded in media to include painting.

The works you see here are all from my mid-life (40 yrs) on. The pandemic changed my life drastically and I dove into these journals to confront my shadow parts. As Dante said, "You cannot go around. You must go through."
