THE LUCID DREAM WALKER…….
My first inspiration for art came from a dream I had on my late father’s birthday on October 9th 2021. In the dream he gave me a gift in my hand and when I awake that morning I had a really strong urge to paint. I had no idea at the time where that feeling even came from. All I know is that I wanted to paint really bad. So I sent my eldest son to get me some paint and canvas. My first painting, I drew the girls eye closed and I remember how intimidated I felt trying to open her eyes with the paint brush. It felt so important for me to paint her eyes open. As her eyes started coming to life, so did my skills with the canvas and brush. I am self taught I have not taken any painting lessons . My ideas come through dreams and mediations and days in the life, while living. I have been painting since that day I had that dream with my dad. it’s not until about a week later I had time to process that all this happen on the night of my dads birthday. It’s almost like he gave me a gift .Nine months after on July 9th I had my first show at Railroad park. It was that day of the show I realized, I had birth and idea so I called the event my “baby shower”. Three months after that I did another big showing at the conjure fest in Birmingham. I am just an Island girl who discovered that she loves to paint and I am so grateful that I have an opportunity to share my gift from my dad with the world.
