2024 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE


The purpose of this museum is to

create a space

for us to begin seeing our inner child as a bridge to our hearts.

A place that helps us:

  • Increase awareness about the relationship we can have with our inner child

  • Bring playfulness and self-compassion into our lives through this lens

  • Inspire us to want to learn skills to connect with our inner child as a path to our heart

I started intuitively painting with watercolors in 2010 to help destress. I was a single mom of young kids, unpacking my own childhood trauma while holding everything together. A friend bought one of my paintings and hung it on his wall, another asked me to design some postcards. As I connected with the colors and made gestures on paper or canvas I found that I was making a connection with my inner child visible. Abstract forms would appear or crude sketches. The information they contained was the truth of what a younger version of me was feeling deep inside. Things I didn’t necessarily want to know or see were there. But as I paid attention, I discovered that this was an honor to be entrusted with and was a bridge to my heart.

I hope that by sharing some of these creations people can come to appreciate that they can build a relationship with their own inner child too, who may need them to listen, comfort them, and who may be the key to unlocking much joy, love, playfulness and peace, if they do.
