Consider This Your Creative Intervention
Do you ever scroll through your Facebook memories, stumble across posts from years back, and cringe a little? Maybe it was a time when everything felt heavy, and your posts reflected that—comments filled with frustration, negativity, and a real lack of joy. I went through this exact revelation recently, looking back at my posts from 2009 to 2011. All I could think was, “Oh my gosh, I was so negative. I was so miserable!”
Back then, I was carrying a lot—grief from losing a best friend, endless responsibilities, and the fairly new struggles of "adulting" that hit us all. But there’s one thing I can clearly see now, two thoughts that stand out the most: 1) Thank God for how far He’s brought me since then, and 2) Why the heck wasn’t I painting? Painting had always been my outlet, my therapy in high school. It was my way to escape and reconnect with myself, but somewhere along the line, I let it slip away.

Creative Space Evolution: Basement Corner to Dream art Studio
When I think back to how I started hosting paint parties, it's like remembering a wild ride from daydream to reality. It all began with a simple dream—having my own art studio where I could let loose and heal.
Back in early 2020, just before COVID-19 turned everything upside down, I was going through my second miscarriage. Painting had been my therapy during my first loss years ago. So this time, I knew I needed to jump right into it to keep me from spiraling into deep depression. It was my way of finding peace amidst the storm of emotions. Art has always been my thing, ever since high school days when I'd sit in class with my headphones on, painting away.
