time does help

I created Rissy Arts as a coping mechanism and put what was left of my heart and soul in being vulnerable. . . and it terrified me. At the first chance, I stopped. I ran away from this endeavor and proclaimed that it was for another era.

Now, I am looking through this site and seeing all the pain. All the emotions that I poured out into my art. I realize now how far I have truly come from the woman I was in April 2022 when I first launched.

I wrote that I don’t do happy prints and although that is still slightly true; my paintings are no longer as depressing. They have become more neutral. Body parts removed from the pain and focused more on the sum of the parts.

I will probably do a second launch that focus on this new collection. new me. new hopes. new dreams.

This site will no longer be as depressing and I think that is what I need in this newest era of my life.

love,

rissy
