Healing Through Creating…
“Art creates a profound connection between the artist and the audience. Through that connection, both can heal.”
- Rick Ruben
Weary and Light exists as a place for dreaming and rest. Created to make space for people to be themselves, it functions not only as an artistic endeavor, but a community of people living authentically. Through timeless, intentional, and peaceful art, Weary and Light gives meaning to the mundane, while making people the forefront.
Creating often happens in tension. Therefore, the juxtaposition of the words weary and light were extremely intentional. It is in this space that life is lived. For some, it is the in between of not being where they want to be yet, for others it is the tension of heaviness partnered with joy in some moments. For all of us, it is the fact that we often desire most to be seen, not explained away. For me, painting has been a refuge and a place of healing where I can let go of performance and connect with my heart. I believe it can be the same for you, too.
What if we can simultaneously be honest about our weariness while providing a place of light and tender kindness to the world? Ergo, Weary & Light - a place where people aren't covered up, but are beautifully celebrated for their humanity and their stories.
