Wild Feminine art Series

One of my projects in art school is to build a portfolio of 20 paintings that helps me refine my process, develop my style, and amplify my artistic voice. I’ve chosen to center this series around the “Wild Feminine”—what I see as the soulful, instinctual part of the self.

Once I removed the people in my life who brought toxicity, confusion, and chaos, I finally had the space to focus my energy on growth instead of distraction. That shift has been a huge life lesson for me, and now I feel ready to express that evolution through my artwork.

Every major leap in my soul’s evolution has happened when I stopped surrounding myself with the wrong people. Because when I compromise myself for those who take power instead of empowering others, I end up operating from a place of disconnection and diminished strength.

I’ve met many people who claim they’re here to help, but what they really want is for you to follow them—to live how they live, think how they think, and do what they do. Often, they’ll even try to sell you the “solution” on top of it: their advice, their drugs, or their services as the path to healing. I’ve seen how common this can be in spiritually immature circles.

Now that I’ve stepped away from all of that, I’m experiencing real healing. My growth—mind, body, and spirit—is what transforms my art and the way I express myself. And now that I’ve chosen myself, I have the time and space to create from my own vision.

I’ve always wanted to share my creativity and energy with others, but right now it feels important to focus on my own path—my vision, my creativity, my health, and my style—so I can become grounded and strong in my unique artistic voice.

I love sharing my creative process in the hope that it inspires art lovers and collectors. As an artist, it’s not enough to have a strong idea, subject, and composition—you also need the technical skills to bring the vision all the way through.

A lot of people still assume the artist’s path isn’t a “real” job or career, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Creating artwork takes serious skill, discipline, and study—from designing and drawing to painting and refining the final piece.

For a school assignment, I’ll be creating up to two paintings a week for my portfolio, so stay tuned to my blog and website for updates and behind-the-scenes posts from this series.
