The Beat I Drum

This is one of 3 paintings named for the song “This is Me” performed by Keala Settle. This song has become a theme song for my Find Your Joy course and it has also inspired a new approach to my work. I am exploring ways to create more intuitive, authentic work. I want to remove my thinking mind from the process, to eliminate all attempts to please others, and to instead simply let my body make art. Of course there is always a degree of thought, but in these paintings, that wasn’t allowed in until the very end of the process, when final tweaks were made for clarity of expression. I love these works and I believe they herald a new way of working.

The line that gives this painting its title is “I’m marching on to the beat I drum.”
