About The Artwork
I chose to paint with the bold color style because self-love is a bold move. I can spend hours on the subject of self-love. See, I have spent much of my life in self-loathing. I never felt worthy enough for ...well, anything, but especially love. This self-hatred mostly was directed towards my body. There were times when I literally wanted to cut pieces of fat off my body with a kitchen knife. After years of therapy and healing I realize that much of this was due to the fact that I was taught that my body was shameful. I had to hide it, but still be beautiful. Be Beautiful, but not too beautiful and don't be sexy! My body had the power to cause men to have bad thoughts. I was responsible for men's desires, so I kept layers of fat on my body as to not attract unwanted attention or to cause men to "sin". What a bunch of rape culture bullshit! My body is my body and I can dress how I want. My body IS sensual and sexy and I am not responsible for anyone's thoughts or actions. Sexual desires are healthy and natural. I am learning to love all parts of me, the light and the dark.
