Once I felt I was losing myself and needed art; now I find I am losing myself in my art and safe.
During one of the toughest years of my life, at one of my lowest and loneliest points I started to draw, then paint and have now proudly created the pieces I have shared with you below.
From this, the lowest of times when I needed to escape but was trapped, trapped both physically indoors without consent at times and emotionally in a relationship, drawing or painting became my way of passing away the hours, allowing my mind almost switch to one of the most important and blessed parts of my life.
Now my life is totally different but I still have art and it is still teaching me.
Another milestone moment that I want to share to was having the strength and conviction to display my work, on the walls in my home and now in a couple of external spaces, was not easy at first as it placed it out there, available for anyone to have opinion of something I created and believed worthy.
Letting go of some pieces, to never have again, was too a milestone for me: Letting go is still part of my learning, I find it a little hard.
Art by Tania Marie is ongoing and other that my restrictions on myself during my journey of what I can do with paint and colours, knows no limits!
Finding art, learning to draw things my mind tells me I can't and putting paint on canvas is still one of the amazing and therapeutic parts of my current life.
And now in 2019, 12 years on and still learning, I find myself now contemplating putting some pieces up for sale.
Check out my pieces and be inspired to start, Starting is sometimes the most exciting space or void we will fill in this path called "our lives".....
