Entrepreneur, Painter and Mother.
I own Indigo Gold Property Management where we specialize in interior painting and cleaning. I started Indigo Gold Property Management two in a half years ago. For 22 years I was a child care teacher. I loved my job but I wasn’t making enough money to survive but too much money for welfare.
The continuous cycle of not having enough money to survive was killing me slowly. I found myself in a really dark and lonely place. But I am blessed because while I was there I taught myself how to paint. And painting became my therapy.
I have been experimenting with painting since 2014. I have been featured in art shows throughout the city since 2015. Painting will always be my peace.
I have included 3 cartoon paintings in this show that were painted when my daughter was 13. These were painted through a very dark time in my life. I used the cartoons to mask my pain and the words to motivate myself and speak through my depression.
Patience was created because I wanted to be an artist so bad. I wanted it all before I had even put in work into a career as an artist. I had to remind myself to slow down. I told myself not to ruin it before I have a chance to grow.
Liberation was created because I wanted to be free so bad. I wanted freedom from everything I was chasing. Love, money, popularity, attention, all of these things I wanted to be liberated from.
Choices was created because I was at a point where I had choices to make. I could either keep playing with my demons or free myself.
I also included the mermaid. She was created while I was in transition to becoming an entrepreneur. When I became an entrepreneur I was empowered. It was like having another child. It gave me something new to love. It gave me abundance. It gave me a feeling of self worth. I no longer had to chase anything. I am now free to be me.
