Drawing Challenge: Day 18 – Runaway

Do you run for freedom?
Do you run to feel joy?
Do you run out of fear… or to escape?
Who do you run from?
Where do you run to?
Who do you find in that ‘safe haven’ of escape?

We all want to escape pain, and find a life that is easier than the past…
Runaway from those who’d drag you down – run up.
Runaway from danger – don’t stand still.
Know where you’re running – be free.
Know who you’re running to – find joy. ♥

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
