wow stacie,
that sounds wonderful, all the art you have done....
for the last few years havent done much of anyting, been much much to stressed. but am hoping that this new place will be the place where am able to finally settle into mineself, and be I. being I means being safe, comfortable, and not worried about what will happen next. that still is in the works. infact, this would be the first time in life that would aply, if it happens.
about being so nervous to have other people see mine work, that is a problem that have also... and when am painting, usually never will sign own name on works, use the name "elias" in most paintings. that way, not much of anyone will ever know it could be this body.

there was only one time a friend, nakasha, the woman who was instrumental in helping us get assessed, helped i to get the courage to put works up for display in a little cafe.... it was a cafe which put up local peoples art work. mostly had a variety of things up, some paintings, a few pencil colour drawings, a few photopraphs and some poetry on watercoloured backgrounds. there was no theme really.
anyways, it is ok to wait for a reply to mail, do that mineself sometimes, when need to kind of be a proper headspace to get it done...
well, thanks for sharing about your art work. sounds wonderful to hear about art.
lilghsotie-happy
