I chose to focus on my relationship with Michael. I loved working on this project - it's a subject close to my heart. I have struggled with being a people pleaser all my life, and I don't like how in the past, I have morphed into "false" me's at times, just to keep the peace. I have grown a lot in this area in recent years (age = wisdom - ha). When I met Michael, I finally learned what it was like to be in a relationship where I can actually just be me, with all my goofiness, and flaws, and still be accepted. He supports me and gives me room to grow. That is the feeling I wanted to portray in this piece.The third project in this series is called "Myself & The World." That will be my next endeavor.
The Self-Portrait Experience is taught by the awesome Barbara Nigg. It's not too late to sign up!
