Hi there. I go by the name Anna. Forums are new to me, not sure what to write.

Usual crappy childhood - incest, verbal, physical, mental abuse. Paul's show has been healing to me, it's gotten me through a lot of stuff recently. After years of therapy and prescription drug adjustments and dozens of self-help books I'm really starting to feel great. Like there are good things coming in my life. That's the title of one of my paintings: "Good Things Coming".

I paint oil on canvas surreal paintings. Several are hanging at LoveBirds Cafe in Pasadena at Walnut and Lake. Was just asked to exhibit 5 paintings at the Women's City Club of Pasadena's upcoming juried art show. Reception January 10th if you're in the area, check it out. Will go for 3 months.

Will be finishing manicure school soon so I can eat and have a roof over my head while I try to sell my paintings.

Not sure what else to say for now.

Ta,
Anna

Hello Anna, welcome to the forum! :D

My mental problems are entirely chemical, so I feel like a fool trying to relate to one as you who had the challenge of horrific unfair abuse. At the bottom are resources for the great spirit Ronnie Schiller.
