Painting my self care series started out as a remedy for my mental health which began affecting my physical health. I found that I was stuck in a cycle of conforming. It started with straightening my curls, trying to loose weight, dressing the same as others. When i finally realized that it didn’t make me happy or feel like myself, I began painting that. I found that it was my form of softly rebelling- beginning with loving my curly hair, which transformed my painting into speaking on self care. It transformed into romanticizing the small intimate moments I have with myself.
