Looking into the Shadows
This body of work was born from a season of profound change — facing grief, menopause, and the transition of my children leaving home.For much of my life, I focused only on the brighter emotions, pushing aside anything darker. Through this work, I’ve chosen to explore those hidden feelings — the ‘shadow self’ of pain, stress, anger, and melancholy — and in doing so, I’ve begun to find moments of acceptance and healing. My hope is that in sharing these very personal emotions through art, others may feel seen, comforted, and reminded that they are not alone.
