I used some of my yummy papers and gelli printed tissue papers that I created in the Abstract journey workshop in this piece and it’s one of my favorite ways to create.
I love being able to nestle the papers in between all the layers and have just bits show up.
I also love being able to lay down words and cover them up as I did in this piece. It always symbolizes healing or forgiveness for me.
The quote ” Let your wounds become wisdom” along with an email this week inspired this piece. I share in the video what the black, turquoise and flowers represent and how wisdom comes.

Shawn. Wonderful piece. Turning disappointment, wounds, hurts into wisdom. We all can relate to it, and Much of the time we hold it and hold it to the point you become paralyzed. Talk to a close friend you trust. Do not hold in wounds. Take the problem and make art with it. Do you need to forgive, make art with it. Look at it then ready yourself to confront the problem with forgiveness in your heart. And forgive them anyway.
Yes 100%! Thanks for being here!
So enjoy you and your work. Thank you so much for adding another art to my work table. You are a lovely woman!
