In order to create uplifting art, I first had to look at my life and see where my spirit needed lifting. That meant that I had to look at my pain and identify its origins.
Sometimes it's not the actual problems in life that cause us to suffer the most but the way we look at them. When we change our perspective, some of the suffering can diminish.
I was drawing the image of a woman with words of encouragement all around her, and then I suddenly realized that these words were messages of self-love.
Even more amazing was that I could see that my creative process was teaching me how to love myself, and it did this by giving me a setting and the reason to ask myself questions.
