frozen Painting

I am a self taught artist and I really started to use my art when I became ill; by being able to express my emotions through the struggling dark days of despair to the lighter days of trust and hope. By using my art as a channel it allows me to release emotions and to understand the complicated aspects of the mind. I believe in showing all areas of emotion , for when we dig deep into our own minds, the harsh realities of our persona are all there waiting to surprise us; life is not always an easy path to travel, but by continuously exploring new areas of feelings we can release repressed emotions; instead of trying to tightly keep it all in. The aim of my work is to continue to explore and work with different mediums, I consider myself still work in progress; a gradual but continuous movement. If my art raises any emotions in people, be it dislike through to love, then I know the piece of art has worked and raised thoughts within the mind. ZoeClements
