I'm an artist. Not classically trained or grew up with the "dream".  It just kinda happened...at the ripe ole age of 49. As the mother of 4 semi grown kids and the owner of multiple chronic painful illnesses I was pretty desperate to find something to distract myself and stay productive in life. I saw a fluid art video and was mesmerized. It seemed simple but yet wildly intricate as well as messy and beautifully captivating. It became therapy for me. I tried and tried to perfect some of the various techniques- failing and succeeding, but trying again and again. 2 years in I am still failing and succeeding while physically and artistically challenging myself but I am in a happier place because of my journey. I hope others can find mental or any kind of peace as I did or even with one of my paintings :)        Thanks for visiting!  Erin
