Healing the Five Year Old I Still Hold
Practicing as an Art Therapist with families, I look deeply into the eyes of children all day. Then, in the studio, without intending to paint anything in particular, I move paint around a canvas and faces magically appear. I am not trying to depict anyone, or tell a story… it just happens that emotion filled little people show up. Maybe I am tapping into the collective experience of being a child- that child that still lives in us. There is beauty in not knowing who they are or what they have to say. But as long as they speak to me, they will keep coming to visit.
