There are many myths about artists. Some people think we are supposed to be moody or drunken and drugged-up-wild or miserably tormented by inner demons who clutch at our souls and won’t let go until we die. While it is true many artists absorb what goes on in the world (and often this is painful) and then reflect it in their art, it does not mean today’s artist can’t learn to absorb the pain and then positively channel it into healthy and healing art.

Here’s Part 2 of my blog. Four paintings reflecting on the theme of Systems Failures had been completed, but those loud, crazy, annoying noises inside my head had still not gone away. Like someone who had failed at a project or task, I felt no closure or emotional release. I decided to loosen up, shut out all controls, and just let the abstract art take over and come flying out. It flew out in hard, messy lines…colors that didn’t quite match…streaks and drizzles and dabs and dots, and completing The Triangular Door showed me my original revelation of SYSTEMS FAILING was deep and complex, but there was no hope of a simple doorway fix.
