The art i have created is my therapy - treating severe depression & PTSD. There are many inspirations to the art, as there are many themes and techniques. Inspiration has even come from being homeless and disabled.
i was inspired to start to share my art after years of not being able to do anything for myself, my therapist and many friends kept telling me that my art was so good, and that i had talent, some saying you are very gifted. i kept getting encouragement from many people, that i should share my art, and that it may be an opportunity for a career.
My dream Career has always been about helping people, for this is my spirit, and i aim to go back to the University to earn a Ph.D. in art therapy. i don't know how soon i - maybe 2 years - time to find stability i hope.
So in the interim to becoming an Art Therapist, i hope i will see success in finding my art in millions of homes across these United states - for which i did my part to ensure democracy for - but all around the world, which i also advocate the same freedoms and dreams as that which we hope for here. i have shared some links in the blog section of my page, so if you don't wish to purchase art now, but you may still wish to help me on my journey, please then look at my Marines Dream Blog page.
Most all the art is based on love. Primarily, it is love amongst adversity, and the entity of love we are in good times as well as despite the bad or horrific times. This art is EVERYDAY Valentines, it is more than just romantic art, it is about who we were, who we are, and who we are becoming. Some people love naturally, some people work at it, and some people have not yet fully realized the potential of their love for some reason or another.
There is also a hope that the Art here will be beheld for the nature of the art, the story of the art, and hopefully - this art encourages, inspires, nurtures, and gives hope to our world for a broader road to CIVILITY.
It is this same civility that i yearn to share, through the grappling of severe trauma that has affected me severely - to the point of many years of undiagnosed PTSD and severe depression. Civility that comes in the hands of truth, the integrity to that truth, which is responsibility not only of the person facing a situation, but those who created the situation through dishonesty and/or (what we know as) evil practices *(to say the least). It is the hope of civility unto ourselves, when we are ready to give up or worse... that we hopefully have some of the love that we typically give so freely to others, that we now have it available for ourselves. This civility will allow for us to love at our greatest, when we love ourselves in the greatest possible health... this, what the artist is working on, may be the hardest task for some of us... to love ourselves, especially when loving, hoping, nurturing, etc. has come so easy when it comes to others.
peace and love to all, please be Civil, Love yourself - that you be the fullest realized person loving in this world!
Enjoy the slide show, click on the art you like & it goes to the page -
please also, after you are done book marking all the art you want now, or in the future, Please see my Blogs (located in top row) which shows other activities i am doing, and contributions that can be made for stabilization - which in turn will enable me to ART more - with materials i have not yet been able to realize , on projects that ruminate in this space address of the brain, heart and Universal Soul.
There are links to the Videos i have made, and have been made, there are links to the:
- EveryDay Poetry Blog
- { installation } Resurrected Love Reclamation - which i hope to take around the world and grow to 100,000 pieces,
- the helping of a disabled homeless Marine Veteran - please - in your contribution - share with as many people as possible for this dream to come true - This Marine still has much more to contribute - and still contributes in his overwhelming adversity (unmerited i add)
- Fan Page
- Aida page - is about helping other Veterans one Veteran at a time (personalized help for after or while the artist gains stability himself)
pending on how it all goes, there is much anticipation that there will be much more to come - this is still the artist's first year in public (media) showing - doing it all his self, if there are other ways you wish to contribute, please send kenneth james a message.
thank you so very much
again
peace and love
