Our Calmheartfolkart Corner

About

I'm Calmheartfolkart, I began painting in 2014 after becoming disabled. I had a hard time talking, walking and lacked fine motor control in my hands. So, (Being stubborn) I put a paint brush in my hand and started with broad strokes. For the finer strokes, holding both hands together or just trying over and over again to try to get it right. I would consider my style folk art because I rejected formal training. I wanted to find out what style of art I did naturally. Painting started as therapy and outlet to give me a voice when words failed me. Now while it is still therapeutic for me, it is my hope that it gives other enjoyment or meets them emotionally so they can find healing as I did.
