Nicole's Story Behind The Painting:
It was a stormy day. It was a downpour, windy, with the pitter pattering of raindrops lasting all day long. And I could say that at the end of the day, I felt the unpleasantness of being cold and wet, which is also true. But what stood out even more to me is how invigorating it felt to be out there in the wind and rain. I didn’t brace against it. I just let myself notice and feel, almost savoring the storm.
The struggles I’ve been through and traumas, all those hard truths I continue to wrestle with - it’s really difficult to think about and know. And still, every time I go round my cycle of exploration and knowing, I come back to what’s also true: how alive I am and feel, how much I’m learning about myself and how much I’m discovering what it means to me to be here in this world.
