I have always felt…bigger than myself. Perhaps some would even say bold and audacious. That’s not ego, I literally feel as if my soul has always been bursting my vessels seams. Through my fashion, the colors in my homes, my gardens, my car and even my dog! I lived “go big or go home” but unconsciously. I just was. Then when my youngest daughter was killed in December 2016, I just was, but differently. For a period of time anyway. Then that “go big” came back but I was mission based. I needed to tell her story and make sure she was remembered. I was hell bent!! I wrote a book on grief, then co-authored 3 cookbooks with my husband. We started a culinary foundation, hosted huge parties in her honor, but I didn’t know how to go bigger or feel fulfilled. So, I sat in it, for quite a long time. I learned over that time, to find that middle path again in life for me, and moving forward with her. In the beginning I was afraid I would leave her behind, forget all we had together. Now I know, that isn’t possible, I have a steadier footing and am in my 7th year of her watching over me vs. walking beside me. I am relearning who I am, what makes me tick and have a better understanding of myself. I now am aware of my “BIG”, the need to express my voice and the need to do so in very creative ways. I am also now comfortable owning that about myself.
Gratefully, I found painting. I literally jumped in the pool, with both feet without looking. I just knew, deep within that it was for me. Art has always been a part of me, of my life, but in different forms. It only seemed natural to take this next leap. I researched, mistaked and mistaked again and again but it never deterred me. I was hooked. However, I have a different perspective now, “what’s the worst thing that can happen”? I have experienced that in my life, so when the question comes from my ego, “what if it doesn’t sell or someone doesn’t like it”, I immediately go to that phrase, and it makes me go beyond any limits I would have had before. It allows me to be vulnerable in new ways. It makes me brave! I can be bold & audacious with intention.
“Through this dizzily dreamy wild frontier of painting, I am able to be bigger than my physical being, allowing my soul to sing through the textures and color.”
I can get lost in painting and sometimes…I even catch myself giggling at the result…vibrant, stirring soulfull art! To learn more or see more art, please visit www.soulfullartbymarcy.com
