I myself am at the beginning of this new journey, as I finally release the expressions of my own artistic voice to the world for you to see. And it's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. But I'm totally going for it!
Today, 28 October 2024, I complete a work I started a few years ago when I made the final decision to make art my main source of income. It felt like I had bound myself to a lot of "obligations" and I was finally ready to let go of all the limiting beliefs. So when I drew this little work of a woman with her eyes closed and bands tied around her neck and arms and shoulders, I knew I was representing that. And that I was an artist who needed to step out and spread her wings. So this is definitely a vulnerable piece for me, because it marks the beginning of the journey I am now taking fully and with all my heart.
Being an artist is something I have wanted to be since I was a little girl, but have never been able to express. And here I am, almost 50, finally saying to the world: "I am Yvonne and I am an artist".
I am overwhelmed with joy, awe and curiosity as this chapter unfolds before my eyes. The fact that I need big reading glasses to execute it only makes it more fun, haha!
