I started therapy recently, I had insight that we rarely learn: how to feel our feelings. Indeed, we are wired to avoid our emotions instead of mindfully embracing them. I started creating the Alphabet of Feeling for this purpose starting A for Anger.

Spread Your Wings
2022
acrylic pen on paper
9x12 " 
Varuni Sinha @verysinnyarts
This artwork stands out to me because in creating it, I have truly been unafraid to express my love for archangel Michael by spreading my creative wings. I am usually hindered by concerns of background and foreground. Here I have let go of rules that I like to break when I sit down to work with pen on paper. This is also one of the first few paintings in a series I have decided to call Divine Doodles. I am in the process of doodling Gods from different parts of the world.

Orchids at the Window
2023
acrylic and conte crayon on cold press watercolor paper
9x12"
Julia Gandrud @julialikesfrogs
Orchids have such personality and presence, they need individual portraits.
