Flowers of Birth
Since the beginning of this year, I have overcome many obstacles in my art journey. Over the course of this year, I have had many opportunities to work and grow on my work. One of these being the Independent Project we work on towards the end of the year. Becoming an artist throughout the years has really pushed me out of my comfort zone, to try new things. This year, when starting our Independent Projects I had decided I wanted to do something I hadn't really worked on before. This being said I decided to continue my journey of painting. Since I had barely done painting in the past, I faced many challenges and also found ways to improve. When being asked about my project, I wanted to make sure that it was something meaningful that would not just be put up and forgotten about. This being said, I came up with “Flowers of Birth” . This collection of 4 paintings displays the people who are close to me. I have chosen to do this project because I felt that it would show a deeper level of appreciation towards those people in my life. While on this journey of completing this project, I have found that I now prefer to focus on painting and photography. This being because I find that I am stronger in these areas than others. Which you would not have known if you had seen my previous work, when I started out “trusting the process”. That has been the saying I’ve used most while creating this project, “trust the process”. But ever since being in VAM it has given me the opportunity and resources to make this happen.
