Painting brings me a sense of peace. It allows me to free my mind and to be present.

Simply becoming…

Have you ever just let go?
Really let go of who you thought
you were to be,
to simply just becoming.

Simply present…
Painting has been an imperative creative outlet in my healing process.
No agenda, no expectations, no right or wrong, just simply being present.

the stroke of a brush releases anxiety…
✨ Art is beautiful in the eyes of those who simply embrace the freedom of each stroke of a brush.✨

Painting imperfectly…
As I am healing, painting has become one of my relaxing pastimes that completely allows me to free my mind and release anxiety.
The need to control every stroke of the paint brush diminishes, as I am no longer self-critical or try to aim for perfection, instead I embrace my vulnerability as I trust myself to just let go. ~denise marie

The rise…
The rise from depression and anxiety has been a feat in itself. The ebb and flow of the uncomfortable highs and lows of not being able to describe the exact reason for that particular moment of heaviness or the fast pace racing of my mind.
At times my faith seems stronger in the midst of my “fog”, its in those vulnerable moments where I find myself surrendering as I read the words from my favorite book, the verses of hope in my bible seem to jump from the pages, as I grasp onto each message of truth. Its in my realness that I realize, I no longer am depending on my own ability to overcome, but I lean into a deep longing and yearning for the transformation of my heart by the one who calls me his own. The abolishing of “fake it” till you make it or pretending to be “ok”, these strategies no longer work in the midst of my authenticity.
As I grasp the uneasiness of healing from trauma and line up my thoughts and actions to truth, moving forward…my life will never be the same.
