BALANCE -This exhibit is about balancing the highs and lows of life. Accepting that life feels giggly, joyful and warm sometimes and empty, lonely and dark at other times. As I work at changing myself in positive ways, I also realize I need to accept that despite my growth, life will still feel dark at times but I will not let emotions control my life. These paintings were created during the highs and lows of the past year as I searched for the balance between acceptance and change.
