Sweet Issues

Visual Art – Riverside

Sweet Issues comes from the truth of who I am. I was blessed with Creativity and the passion for color. Art is how I express and find my self. I have done many types of art. I grew up with learning disabilities and mental illness. Being Bi polar means that I have two sides. A bright fun and childish side that is sweet. My art shows this with vivid colors, imaginary characters, flirty ideas and yummy color combinations. This is the time where I can feel free to be goofy and let loose with my inner little girl who doesn’t have to fear being wrong or stupid. What I create in my children’s art makes their eyes get so big, a smile appears on their faces and it delights me down to my soul. Then the other side is one less shown but more understood in this time. My dark side of pain and Issues. I could go on forever about stories of my life and fighting depression. The honest truth is everyone has hard times. My darker art is a way to work through the issues deep inside my head and heart. The feelings of paranoia, fear, shame, sadness, and so on. This is the stuff that troubles my mind. Addiction, sickness, death, and family struggles. Something deep inside that needs to find it\'s way out. A storm that is brewing with muddy colors and strong symbolism Something for everyone...
