Road Call Where are you from? What do you do? What made you join Looking forward to building with you all

At 15 yo I was pulled out of art class. I stood in the school office waiting to hear the devastating news. My life had been turned upside down. My Mom survived her dual stroke (1 in a Million chance) and was living on borrowed time, my handicapped brother was put in a group home and I was shipped off to live with my sister. Roughly about a year later, I returned home to take care of my Mom (16 yo) and have been doing so ever since (nearly 25 yrs and going). To say that I'd had a challenging life would be a bit of an understatement, but without it I would not be here today. Shortly after a personal devastating health diagnosis, I started teaching myself abstract painting (2018). In 2022 I lost my sister to Covid. I decided then to make it official and commit to painting as a career. Though, I'm still very much feeling it out and developing myself as an artist, I keep putting one foot in front of the other. Each day is a wonderful profound unfolding and find myself in awe at the world around me. You see the worn-down path of the outside journey, but there was also a very intimate inner journey during those years, yet still playing out. I slowly but surely rewrote myself, my understanding and the way I viewed not only my own personal world, but the greater Cosmos at large. I grew-up in a strictly religious house... My father, a military officer, spiritual leader & teacher. My Mother a homemaker. Being the youngest of 8 kids was daunting. I learned to shut-up and stay out of the way (not get under-foot). I kept to myself and minded my own needs as not to be a burden on anyone else. I had a lifetime of programming to unpack, and still do, to this day. I feel tremendously grateful to be among such fine upstanding people her in this group. I've come a long ways! ...and wouldn't trade it for the world. Blessings, Love, Gratitude... Always!

I'm new to the party and I'm an artist and I am VERY sensitive about my shit--- Yes ERYKAH! The Queen
