Hi Kim,
I love your art work. I’m also living with Bipolar and find that art really helps. I have always drawn and painted and loved being creative. Recently, I’ve found that my bipolar has allowed me to branch out. I no longer really care what people think. I just paint what is in my mind or soul and see how it turns out.
I was hoping I could message you on Facebook, but it wouldn’t let me. Anyway, just wanted to say that I loved your art, and I’d like to show you some of mine if you’d like a look.
Cheers
🙂
Oh my gosh – I’m so sorry I didn’t see this comment until now! I’m not sure why my FB page won’t allow you to comment, you might need to add me as a friend. Thank you for the kind words – I know what you mean about not caring what people think anymore. I used to be somewhat embarrassed by/ashamed of the illness when I was a little younger, but I’ve grown to embrace it. And it’s interesting the way artwork is integrated into it. The illness can fuel creativity..and creativity can soothe the symptoms. A weird cycle..but isn’t that what we’re all about? 🙂 I’d love to see your work.
