I have been an artist for most of my life. This was how I spoke as a child in the midst of a difficult childhood.
 
Throughout my life, I have used art as a way to continually explore and discover who I am and also to help me heal. Making art is breath to me.
 
In this retrospective of my healing art, you will see earth work, large drawings, installation, fabric, and concrete. Many of these pieces took me years to make as I raised my kids and worked. Some took only minutes as I fought to express those feelings that threatened to explode inside me.
 
I invite you to come and see, whether at the opening or by yourself later on. I would love to give you a glimpse of one of the most important ways I have taken care of myself all these years as I have struggled to survive and heal. Perhaps you will go away with something for your own life.
 
This show speaks to the need for all of us to listen to and honor the voice deep within. Whatever we do, it is important to pay attention as it tells us what we need, where we are going, and who we are. In this way, we may come to bloom into who it is we came here to be.
 
Thank you.

A mixed media journey of lament and possibility using luggage as the foundational medium.

This is an art show of student and professional artist, all to do with mental illness and mental health. It was put together by high school student MacKenzie Coffman and half of the proceeds of sales will go to Abby's House in Worcester, about shelter, housing, and advocacy for women.

I have my very large "Healing What Was Done to Us," "Speak" (above) with the poem from my book "Wild Geese" hung beside it, "Blood Bath" with its accompanying poem "Blood Bath" from my book, "Vision," and "River Mother, Heath Road." 

I will do a short performance piece that introduces my Blooming work before I read the poem from my book "I'll Keep Going."

I will also have my book for sale.

If you can, it should be an incredible event. Just amazing work from what I saw when I dropped off!
