Lea May
Self Embrace: Healing the Wounded Within
Painting
My name is Lea May. I am an artist, a survivor and an advocate for inner healing.
After a month of painting the image before you, what I have concluded to be the most essential take away from this experience, are invitations of two calls to action. It is my hope it can benefit those who resonate with my words and my art. These suggestions may seem simple at a surface level; however, in reality it can take months and years to heal... especially, when we have experienced traumatic events that alter the course of our lives. In this painting, you see themes of liberating the wounds of trauma and expressing it all into forms of beauty, redemption and empowerment through realism and impressionism.
