Who: Carmen
What: Acrylics
My mediums are primarily writing. Especially mental health. Then painting. Painting is new to me. I’ve a family full of artists but I never took it up until I lost someone I love to suicide and my own mental health became worse this year. It was it started two weeks ago when I did my first painting. I was feeling a little creative high and just started to paint. Painting (and writing) allow me the freedom to express how I am and what it feels like to be in my head. Its definitely therapy. Much easier than talking to someone. It’s much more visceral and visual for people to understand.
