My artwork titled "What Love Endures" was chosen in the "Nostalgia: A Portal to Healing" Open Call. The subject is extremely personal and reading my description/artist statement (in ALT) still brings tears to my eyes. Thank you, @34gallery.org 💜
This painting depicts my father sitting in the familiar comfort of his chair, surrounded by the security of home, while my mother walks alone through an open desert. The image reflects the ten long years she cared for him during his dementia, and the quiet confession she once shared — that sometimes she wanted to walk out into the desert and never return. I didn’t fully understand then how hard those years were for her, how much strength it took to stay. In creating this piece, I am confronting the guilt of not being there for her as much as I wish I had been, and allowing myself to finally let that guilt go. It is both a memory and a release — a moment of love, loss, and forgiveness.

34gallery.org Artist Melissa Broadwell: "As an autistic artist, I experience the world as layers of #sound, #color, & #energy that overlap until they are too intense to separate. Painting transforms this into #balance."

Look to the Milky Way, in Sagittarius, and you'll find the Lagoon and Trifid Nebulae. In this region, there are hundreds of millions of stars per square degree. My photo is littered with many of them.🤩

A dig back into the archives for one of the numerous photos that I took of waterfalls in Croatia.
#WaterfallWednesday #WaterWednesday #Photography #EastCoastKin
Several narrow waterfalls are cascading into a turquoise coloured lake. Above the cliff, and to the sides of the lake, are trees of different shades of green. On each side, branches are hanging over the lake.

Asking for #help is not something to be ashamed about. There are times in life when doing so shows the strength of our character by being honest about what we're facing. So reach out. Speak up. Connect. Remember: You aren't alone!
