art as healer
I was never great at drawing or painting. Art class gave me anxiety from K all the way through 12.
But I’ve always loved words. And I’m decent with scissors and a glue stick.
And poem art has given me LIFE this past year.
I got to host a Poem Art Party a couple weeks ago and it was dreeeeeamy. I wish I could do that for my job.
Maybe someday.
Until then, I’ll make stuff like this and this.
And loads and loads of poem art.
My favorite of these word art poems is the Delicious Confession....I completely relate! Cursing is my favorite new "rebellion".
I love that there are just so many ways to do art. I can draw or paint passably. But I can't "see" the way you see, and I would have a hard time making the poem art you make, and I LOOOOOOVE it. It's genius.
