Sunday 25 January

Street art is a unique and colorful art form and can be found in all kinds of nooks and crannies in cities all over the world. Capturing art in the streets in photographs can be tricky because these urban art pieces are in public spaces, that are busy and usually filled with a decent amount of traffic. Sometimes you include the people and sometimes, you don't.

I appreciated the flexibility of the instructor, Phoenix, in asking what I would like to learn, and focusing on that, as I was the only participant until one more arrived quite late. He was helpful with suggestions and technique.

art is a conversation, a language I speak on many different levels and different mediums. Throughout my journey I've helped people find their expression through being the example in everyday life. You are your art, it is apart of who you are, and as I've found out time and time again, the more willing you are to dive into those unknown parts of self, the more growth and understanding you will see in your expression.

I'm just getting back into painting after a tough emotional year. I'm not going to lie - it's primarily a comfort for me. But the feedback I've received since sharing my paintings over the past month encouraged me to share them more.

I knew it'd be a challenge since I have never painted anything like this before but I'm pretty happy with the result. There were moments where I doubted if I
