If You Can't Keep Up with Me, You Don't F*cking Deserve Me
36”x48” Acrylic on Stretch Canvas
A woman around the fire asked if she should slow down, if she should measure her steps to keep pace with others seeking growth so they were not left behind. I screamed through the flames, No!
We make ourselves small, we wait for the right moment, we try so hard not to make others uncomfortable with our brilliance. I am finished with delaying my journey, with covering my light, with softening my voice. I race through my days gathering up as much knowledge and understanding as I possibly can. Creativity explodes out of me in great waves. I am in this life for my own expansion, and I cannot be slowed down by others. I will not. I will be bright and loud, passionate and vulnerable. I will try in every way to live this one life with my full participation. Those who can keep up are welcome. Those who watch from miles behind are welcome. Those ahead of me are welcome. But the steps I take, the pace I keep, the terrain I chose to race across is chosen solely by me.
The Wild Collection emerged as a response to the profound impact of emotions. During a retreat in the woods near Boston, alongside 85 women, we unleashed our screams, tears, and rediscovered the power and resilience we had neglected for too long.
For years, I suppressed my sadness and never fully acknowledged the depth of my anger. Nearly ten years ago, as I started painting, those long-buried emotions started to resurface. This collection symbolizes the liberation of my emotions, embracing feelings of frustration, confusion, rage, and desperation. Rather than conceal them, I now channel the energy of these emotions to propel myself forward on this journey. The movement, layers, and colors in these pieces reflect an internal intensity, revealing the profound richness and complexity of our deeply felt emotions.
This work is infused with healing Reiki energy.
