Hi Inkpetal!
Art IS therapy...Art has always been my therapist. Once I start a project be it a commission piece or just because, I am immersed into a world of freedom, while the pencil or brush is caressing the paper, the outside world doesn't exist...my problems seem to disappear.I encouraged my daughter, who has Bipolar to keep an art journal, and the pieces she create were amazing and powerful!
I have drawn some pretty 'morbid' pieces, surreal pieces and happy pieces. What goes into a piece is your soul speaking and releasing. I find it's actually cleansing to get it out. If i get an idea in my head for a piece I MUST draw it!
I think your idea is excellent! For you to create something that others may relate to, no matter how dark some of it may be, is not only rewarding for your soul, it's therapeutic for others. They can interpret the pieces their own way...I like this first piece....my interpretation is ..it's a struggle with the reality of what is happening to you and trying to keep strong and feminine....
Keep going and make your dream a reality! I will buy your book :)
