Gouache on Mixed Media Paper - 6”x6”
Mental health has always been a challenge for me. After a particularly difficult episode, I had to hit pause on my life and take a step back. Nature has a unique healing power, and for me, art plays a similar role. For a long time, I’d wanted to learn how to paint with gouache, but I could never figure it out. The paint always turned out too muddy, and I couldn’t make it work. During this break, I pulled out my paints with no expectations, simply deciding to paint a scene. That painting changed everything for me. I discovered the joy of gouache, and now it’s my primary medium of choice. If I hadn’t gone through those struggles, I wouldn’t have had the time to learn how to paint the way I do with gouache. I praise God, even in the difficult times, knowing He has a plan for everything.
