What does an artist mean to you?
How I feel is that it means I can express myself without bias. Meaning that my feelings are applied to every piece, passion, love, sadness, anger, etc.. It’s a self expression of how I truly feel. It’s my zen, my little place where I can escape to, and enjoy every paint stroke without the interference from the real world. Hopefully everyone that sees my work can enjoy it as much as I do.
How does mental health awareness and support help your life and those around you?
I know that mental health is a serious subject. I don’t suffer from any mental health issues, but I do know a lot that suffer from it. My wife is the main focus that I am around every day. Bipolar, postpartum depression, medications, doctor visits, etc.. Friends from war, PTSD, suicidal tendencies, etc.. think you get the picture. When it comes down with me and my awareness of mental health is just being there for them. Whether it’s my wife, friends, a viewer on my stream that needs to let it out. I’m all ears, listening, and just being there makes a huge difference in my opinion. No judgement, just listening, and seeing the challenge of others that struggle with their issue or illness.
Just be there when they need someone to talk to. It’s ok to be vulnerable to a friend who might not understand it’s entirely, but is willing to be there when you need someone. That’s how I pursue mental health. Hope, and help with organizations that can provide the needs that people need to get help. It starts with just one person who will sit down and care what you are going through!
