Human Canvas

"My body is a tool that I wield on impulse and the canvas upon which I write."

                                                                             --- Jennifer Peters

My personal emancipation came through a series of three stages; the first stage the trauma of getting lost in the wilderness at the age of sixteen years. Someone in my life was hurting me and this incident marked a permanent shift in the level of abuse they chose to dish out. The second shift was when I opened my mouth as a young adult to spew the ugly guts of my story, and the third, when I discovered my creative voice.

It is essential that an artist risk transparency; this process and whether or not they choose to share it will be different for everyone, but denying this reality is to deprive others of your authentic genius, whether this be in the field of medicine, law, business or otherwise. Pursue what gives you life  and witness how it gives life to those who surround you.
