Ducking Mad

I painted this because I was angry. The kind of anger that doesn't just have 1 source.  The general, Exasperation, done with it all, worn down by it, kind of angry.  The type of irrational anger that had no resolution that would just solve it. 

I didn’t want to calm down. I didn’t want to talk it out. I just wanted to channel that frustration into something that felt loud. So I did.

I knew what I wanted — bold texture, intense expressions, and a whole lot of attitude. Representing a different kind of mad: Yelling, Stewing in silence, and judging everything/everyone.

This piece isn’t about making peace with your feelings. It’s about owning them. It’s sharp. It’s expressive. It’s unapologetic.
