In this piece you can see clearly see I am discovering and excited about creating art as an act of love. It was the first place where I was driven to trust the creative process and explore myself. Not really thinking about what I was creating. I began drawing hearts throughout the entire page all the hearts appear to be moving in various directions. While creating this piece I was not worried all I was asked to do is create and that is what I did. Then before you know it I outlined three hearts in red. I felt the urge to use three staples next to each staple the words hurt, no creativity and left-brain follow. In doing this I understood it was ok to feel lost, afraid, uncertainty, and imperfection. This was the only way I would be able to embrace my fears and flaws, in hope these words would no long control me. According to Moon (2008), “ Every time we face an empty canvas, we learn that nothing is certain; but if we trust the process and ourselves, the image will come” (p. 170) In trusting the creative process has given me the words I was unable to communicate to myself. Being present, creating and having acceptance has truly brought me peace.
