Hey there, lovely souls! I'm thrilled to have you here on my website, and I'm even more excited to share a piece of my colorful world with you. Welcome to my About Me page, where we'll take a journey through my artistic endeavors, my unapologetic identity, and the profound belief that art is not just a creative outlet but a path to healing and spiritual growth.
A Lifelong Love Affair with Art
Picture this: a child who's always been a little different, a tad eccentric, and constantly curious about the world. That child was me. From the earliest memories of my life, I've had this insatiable desire to express myself in various artistic forms. No matter what life threw my way, I clung to my love for art like it was my guiding star.
Even as I pursued a career outside the arts, I found solace and joy in spending my free time creating. There's something profoundly beautiful about the way a blank canvas, a lump of clay, or even a digital screen can be transformed into a piece of your soul. It's magic, pure and simple, and it's a magic I've been chasing all my life.
The Canvas of My Identity
One thing that makes my journey unique is that I identify as non-binary and a part of the LGBT community. I practice more than one spiritual focus including but not limited to meditation, chanting, magic, divination, spell work and witchcraft. This is a pivotal part of my story, an essential brushstroke in my canvas of self-expression. My identity has enriched my art, giving it depth and meaning that resonates with the hearts of those who connect with it. It's not just about what I create; it's about the identity and experiences that infuse every piece with a special kind of energy.
A Palette of Artistic Endeavors
I'm often asked what kind of art I create, and my answer is a diverse palette. I've delved into a smorgasbord of artistic forms, each with its own unique flavor and charm. Here are a few of the art forms I've explored:
1. Painting: Ah, the classic canvas and brush! I've created worlds with every stroke, blending colors to evoke emotions, thoughts, and memories. My paintings are a window into my soul, an invitation for you to see the world through my eyes.
2. Paper Cut Art: Delicate and intricate, paper cut art is like poetry with scissors. It's an exercise in precision and patience, crafting stories through cut-out designs.
3. Pyrography Art: This one's a bit unconventional. The art of burning designs into wood with a variety of red-hot tools and flame, a metaphor for transformation. It's about rebirth from the ashes, something we can all relate to.
4. Fiber Arts: The tactile beauty of fiber arts has a unique place in my heart. Weaving, knitting, and textile art are threads that connect me to the past, linking generations through the tapestry of time.
5. Digital Art: In the age of screens and pixels, digital art offers limitless possibilities. I've explored this realm with zeal, blending the old and new to create art that resonates with our modern world.
And the list goes on, continually evolving as my journey of self-discovery unfolds. Every medium has its own language, its unique way of expressing emotions and experiences. Through each, I strive to communicate with you on a different level, a level that transcends words.
The Healing and Spirituality of Art
Art, for me, is more than just aesthetics. It's a sanctuary, a sacred space where I find healing and connect with something greater than myself. The act of creating is a meditation, a way to tap into the depths of my soul and understand the world around me.
I believe that art is not confined to museums and galleries; it's a universal language that can be a source of comfort and inspiration for everyone. It's a bridge that connects us to our innermost thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. When we express ourselves creatively, we embark on a journey of personal growth, and we discover the immense power of our own voices.
A Call to Creative Expression
As I stand at the intersection of my artistic journey and my identity, I invite you to join me. I encourage you, dear reader, to embrace your creativity, whatever form it may take. It doesn't matter if you've never picked up a paintbrush or molded a piece of clay; there's an artist within you waiting to be set free.
Together, we can explore the realms of art, expression, and identity. We can create a community that celebrates diversity, fosters understanding, and promotes love through the universal language of creativity.
So, take a look around my website, immerse yourself in the art, and let it touch your soul. If you feel inspired, don't hesitate to reach out and start a conversation. I'd love to connect with you, to hear your thoughts, and to learn about your own artistic journey.
Thank you for being a part of this colorful adventure with me. Your presence here is the brushstroke that completes the canvas of my life. Let's paint, sculpt, and create a more beautiful world together.
With love and creativity,
Kathleen Lowell
