The Story Behind Shift
Over the chaotic year of 2020, I started painting my feelings into rainbows. Every challenge that pushed me into uncomfortable territory caused rapid growth and transformation within me, so I painted my soul as a rainbow shifting from one state to the next. The paintings and poems aided me in processing my emotions and continue to remind me of the lessons I've learned.
We are all constantly going through phases of uncomfortable shifts, it’s simply the human condition. This collection is here to remind you to stay hopeful, brave, and authentic because you are a beautiful shifting rainbow!

Contemplation
Contemplation
Indecisiveness weighing me down
I see the good in all directions
Wish I could just choose every option
In a multiverse perfection
The desire to love everyone and experience everything
But there’s only enough energy for one
and it has to be for me
It will be the highest path
The one that feeds my soul
Then I can forget the rest
It’s out of my control
Savor
Angel of Oblivion
Ripple
The Angel of Oblivion
Doesn’t care what situation you’re in
She knows the world is filled with tricks
But you’ll survive through thin and thick
She whispers in your ear, “life is short”
And you try to listen
But then you forget
And pain comes to fruition
But those dips are always a reminder
Of how fragile life is
And that heaven and hell are right here
You can choose which
So, stop, right now
Quiet down the chaos
Remember that the now is everything
This moment is your blessing
So live it
Live it loud and colorful
Because it’s just so wonderful
To have it
The Journey
The Journey
You come into this world pure
A fresh burst of energy
Some pain you may endure
As you become who you’re going to be
The climb
It’s exhausting
It’s gruesome
It may be too advanced for some
But then there’s the slide
The joyful decline
You may start to lose your mind
Until it is time
Is this all there is?
This exhausting charade?
What lies beyond the other side?
During our next escapade?
Individuality
Individuality
Born into the binary
Girls and boys
Different toys
They told us what we had to be
Play a role
Do what your told
So I tried hard to simulate
But it’s not me
Let me be free
Life is much more intricate
There was no wrong
All along
