I enjoyed this piece because I sense how emotional it was for you to write it. I’m no artist but I do know it’s therapeutic for those who do which is what impresses me about all artists. I love your sketches. I can’t even master stick people. All of that to say, if writing here helps in any way, keep on doing it. I wish you and your friends in Israel well. Blessings.

Thank you so much for the kind words Daniel. It really means a lot.

Also - writing is an art, too!

This is part of my point and something I need to explore and write about. I vacillate between writing and painting, depending on which channel feels more open at the time. Lately, writing has felt extremely difficult and I've started a series of animal paintings, as an escape and a release, which is lighting me up. Maybe I'll share some in a future post <3

Thank you for sharing this, your heartache. Art is hope, healing, and remembrance. It shines a light on atrocities. My heart goes out to you.

I love your drawings

Aww thank you for the kind words, Miche. Looking forward to staying in touch and catching up on your work. I always enjoyed your voice - in writing and in live sessions. You bring such great energy to WOP. I hope to be more present and engaged next time.
