Awkward Beauty

Dear Moon Muser,

Each drawing/painting in my current series is showing, by example, how to change, transform, reclaim oneself.

How?

I draw with my non-dominant (left) hand - awkward, slow, weird.

I handicap challenge myself intentionally to create something different from anything I've created before...to be someone different...to know a different side of myself.

Not easy, but rewarding. The drawings show awkward beauty, what it's like to be autistic, neurodivergent, or different, or adopted, or weird, or to not fit in. This is beauty to me.

Sparkly Blessings!
