Nurturing is cultivating and fostering relationships and connections within ourselves. When we take steps to care for ourselves, we gain the strength to care for others.
Women have the gift of being natural nurturers who can multitask by juggling the roles they identify in family, career, and community. However, deep down in their conscience, they long for tranquility and moments of peace but often turn it down.
Women often downplay to prioritize self-care or well-being because they feel obligated to provide care and support to others and shy away from setting boundaries.
In many instances, they find it difficult to say it's okay to take a break, it's okay to ask for help, or it's okay to indulge in self-care because they feel guilty.
As a woman, a mother, a wife, an artist, and various roles that I identify myself in my family and community, I honor my self-care time through art making.
I make art to find my inner peace, and I hope others will experience it through my art.
Slow Down
In today's world of excessive distractions, dependence on technology and social media, and the various roles we hold within our family and community, we often fail to give ourselves time to retreat.
We are always on the move because of Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO).
Nurturing ourSelf offers hope and healing.
Using mixed media on wooden boards, I paint mandalas to find my inner peace, filtering through the flow and friction of order and disorder we experience in our daily lives.
