When I created my bell I knew I wanted it to be representative of my favorite types of paintings I create. I might have a slight plan in mind based on color, but even then, I leave that open to how I'm feeling in the moment. I paint this way because it's freeing. It helps me enter a state of mind that allows me to relax and truly enjoy myself. I think that it's so important for our mental health to have a type of escape that not only encourages relaxation and growth, but also creativity. I love it when my emotions can stream onto the canvas through spontaneous brush strokes and flowing drips of paint to create an expressive piece of art. I want my bell to be a great reminder that our minds are a colorful space and by themselves are a work of art.
