About "What Dreams May Be"
In an ideal world, emotions create feelings that flow naturally. Unfortunately they often get dammed up. Whatever you're feeling these days, it can be a lot to carry. Expressing emotion through art is an incredible way to release those feelings before they get too deep and begin to create other problems.
Studies show that whenever we repress, deny, or disallow an emotion to be what it needs to be, our network pathways get blocked. Pretty soon, they're gumming up the works and the vital feel-good unifying chemicals that dictate both our biology and behavior are unable to flow.
Sometimes simply stating what you're experiencing isn't in enough. In order for emotions to move through us freely, they must be accepted and expressed. Doing so enlivens us and fuels our creativity. Fortunately, experiencing emotions directly through art is fairly simple - if you allow for the process.
This could be done drawing, painting, sculpting, music, movement, writing, drama - whatever creative means allows you to open up and bare your soul. You don't need to be talented or skilled at any of these either. They are simply a means for expressing yourself. And each time you create a work of art, you're sharing new ideas, as well as different ways to express yourself. This can certainly serve as motivation for others.
For us who grew up in a time when "art" was equated to realism, and being an artist to the ability to create realistic works of art, it can be hard to escape the confines of convention. Breaking free from the idea that art needs to be realistic.
Often when starting out artists may feel they don't understand "the rules" associated with a particular medium. Do yourself a favor - Forget about the rules. You're trying to create something that's a reflection of you - not striving to attain technical mastery of the medium. Just allow yourself to feel. Fully and completely. Allow your emotions to guide you on how you create the art.

About Sannette
Also known as Sannette Fourie. I'm passionate about women, children, and colour. Colour is my vehicle to get the viewer's attention to connect with the emotion, the expression, to look deep within themselves and connect with whatever moves them. There is something of everybody in my paintings. I'm fascinated by the contrast that the female form presents. The softness of their skin, the roundness of their form, their vulnerability; compared to how strong their characters are, their souls, how much they can survive, how many times they can start over.
