It’s not a side of me that I like or wish to pas

It’s not a side of me that I like or wish to pass on to my kids. Nonetheless , I find difficulty in trusting and my view of relationships has been warped. My dad dying the week before my 8th birthday marked my life and as a result I have worked through my awkwardness with friendships and relationships where I trust too much ( I’m needy) or I trust too little ( I’m rude). Right across to dealing with folk through my business, I don’t always put my best foot forward because I am wary.

If you’re the same and your life situation was affected by loss or another traumatic occurrence, lean in to the oddness with which you navigate friendships, relationships and work colleagues. No one is perfect and we simply journey how we see fit. Human instinct isn’t always about protection.
Sometimes the vulnerable sticky moments are where we learn most about ourselves. What a glorious project to work on! Art has helped@me@process.

You can use my YouTube channel anytime for free acts like therapy. With a simple pen and paper. #artyherapy #traumarecovery #parentingloss #artheals

‘The first time you looked at me’ the detail.

‘The first time you looked at me’ the detail. Scroll ➡️ to see it glowing in the morning light. Neons, muted undertones, drips, turquoise and a deep sense of longing. Just like when you meet someone new.

Washing dishes in a basin in the downstairs toilet

Washing dishes in a basin in the downstairs toilet and wouldn’t have it any other way!! Dust to the eyeballs but look at how happy I am. We purchased our house because of the location ( close to the beach). To be fair the beach walks are enough for us but the 70s kitchen had started to fall apart. So we have taken the leap and I am so thankful to be in the thick of it. Long May that continue!!

Three rooms have been knocked into one, we have windowsils and after 8 days they re plumbed the washing machine so tonight it will be lit with laundry!! How amazing are tradesmen? Making our house a home one brick and one drill at a time!

Painting transports me and my mind to a place@of@calm. Exercise @alyhartesfitness takes my excess energy and rolls into positivity. Painting is the perfect partner to that. The combination of expression and movement in my week, as I move closer to my 40th. Birthday, has been a fire I never thought would burn so bright.

I was a part of the hustle culture to get my business to where it is. I’m thankful for all of the hours. However, i’m even more thankful for reflection and consistency now as I delve deeper into ideas for exhibitions later this year. Thanks for following. This painting is available. Marble hill beach Donegal. DM to book a viewing or tap for more info.
