Purple Pressure Palace: Imperfects Manifest Perfection

Bio...

My art is my passion and when being creative everything else is just background noise.

The very first drawing was at 8 years old sitting in a doctor’s office waiting on my mother to come out from the back. The painting of the wall was intriguing. I sat there swinging my feet and doodling and before I knew it; I had the picture on my paper. I continued to draw every now and then until I got older and lost the passion for it. I thought I had lost it forever but ominously I still have it. I started drawing mazes in my spare time as a young adult; then life happened and once again put it on the back burner.

I have had many ups and downs in my lifetime. About 5 years ago I lost everything to a house fire and once again put it on the back burner. But quickly picked it back up and began to create. The drawings were my safe place to escape it all. I often find myself spending hours just drawing; even after a long day at work just being creative and listening to my inner intuition of what to create and share with the world.

This is why I call my collection Purple Pressure Palace: Imperfect Perfections. Imperfect is characterized by defects or weaknesses; lacking completeness. While perfection is the state or quality of being or becoming whole with a degree of proficiency and skill in the act of perfecting.

Everything in life is not perfect nor will you have all the answers nor will those answers be available to you at the time you want them. Just know when this happens that there is a greater power called God directing you to your destiny and to trust in the process. Every time that you feel that you are at your wit’s end and cannot move forward. GOD will guide you where you need to be and the person(s) that has been placed there to help you on your journey. It does not always have to be a monetary gift; it could a word of encouragement or validation of the process at hand.

All is not lost; it is just the beginning of a new chapter in life. It is just a test and whether or not you pass that test is up to you and what decision you make during the test. There is a lesson to be learned from the test you have been through.

If you find yourself feeling like it is Déjà vu, step back, pause, look at the whole picture, take inventory and then acknowledge God in finding where you are missing it.
