dis·so·ci·a·tion

/dəˌsōSHēˈāSH(ə)n,dəˌsōsēˈāSH(ə)n/

noun

the disconnection or separation of something from something else or the state of being disconnected.


“Anywhere, but Here” is not just a painting about dissociation, but it is a painting about hiding and removing yourself from the world’s eye.


I painted this during a time where I felt trapped in my daily routine and desired nothing more than a chance to escape from my 9-5 and the life I led.


This painting helped me work through feelings of burn out, being under-appreciated and undervalued.


Using my Meditative Expressive Art process allowed me the chance to work through these difficult emotions and by the time I finished this painting, I developed a plan of action for following my dreams and no longer playing a passive role in my life.



Use this painting as inspiration and a guide during times of burn-out and when you have a desire to escape to a place of solace.


Remember, no one but you holds the power of decision in your life. You can create whatever you want. Get to work :)

“free as you want to be” is my take on what it truly feels like to be bigger than your current situation or job and wanting to leave, but staying because you feel trapped – like there’s no other choice but to confine yourself to the cage you’ve always known.

This painting helped me work through feelings of entrapment, bitterness, powerlessness, self doubt and fear of the unknown.


My Meditative Expressive Art process allowed me the chance to work through these difficult emotions and by the time I finished this painting, I was ready to put my plan of action for following my dreams into effect and no longer allowed myself to settle for being in the passenger seat of my life.


Use this painting as inspiration and a guide during times when you are settling into feelings of entrapment, bitterness, powerlessness, self doubt and fear of the unknown.


Remember, no one but you holds the power of decision in your life. You can create whatever you want. Get to work :)
