Bad Art is Still Art
Bad art is still art
Let's talk about ✨MAKING ART✨.
I've been creating something everyday: starting the thing; letting go of expectations + attachments; staying open; being curious; following my desires & intuition; & to KEEP GOING!
We need your art, babe.
My artistic practice is similar to composting; I take some of my worst experiences, such as trauma & violence, & transform that shit into art & other containers for healing that are inspiring, colorful, empowering, cute, & hopeful 🌈
I make art because:
💖 I can see my transformation over time; healing isn't linear but I've survived 100% of my worst days/weeks/years which helps me remember I can get through this too!
🧡 I've built community & connections through art that have helped me feel less alone & access some of the resources, support, & care I needed to start healing.
💛 Art is a healthy outlet & a safe container for the overwhelming + intense feelings I experience as I continue to heal.
💚 Being able to process my experiences & feelings through a creative medium has been SUPER DUPER helpful for me!
💙 Sharing my work & receiving feedback from other survivors that my art has helped them too has helped to rebuild my confidence & give me a sense of purpose.
💜 The art I sell through Femme Filth Press supports my survival as a chronically ill & disabled + unemployed babe 💵
You don’t need a reason to make art.
Own your creative power; the only thing stopping you from being an artist is calling yourself one!
I’ve been working on creating reels for my Instagram focusing on affirmations for survivors. I’m totally new to TikTok but it's super fun to be experimenting with & learning a new medium TBH!
