Artistic Healing - The Art of Going with the Flow

"The sun never knew how great it was until it struck the side of a building." - Louis Kahn

As a creative mind, I find inspiration in the exploration of all that is authentic! Creatively innovative, my designs are driven by my biggest passion in life: embracing your authentic-self. I am a firm believer of standing by who you are, while always working towards a better version of yourself.

So here I am, becoming that better me!! I am a leader by example. And at the moment, life is chaotic, unpredictable, and messy. I'll let you all in on a secret though... When you show up and participate in life, moment-by-moment you find your calm. That's it; the solution to your outer chaos. You show up to life and you allow yourself to be present, get messy and discover the raw beauty that is life. You don't have to be ready and 9 times out of 10 you won't be; but you have to be willing. Willing to let go of the depression of yesterdays and the anxieties of tomorrows, to live freely in this moment.

Going with the flow, rather than trying to force it's direction is the hardest concept I have ever had to grasp. I have come to realize however, you will never be able to change outer circumstances to achieve inner-peace. The controlled chaos is when you learn to change your inner-reactions instead. As a result, you become more aware of yourself, more honest with yourself, more firm with yourself. The perfect recipe for a better version.

The artist that I am and the artwork I produce are all a reflection of my personal values;

To embrace your authentic-self. Be an original. Embrace vulnerability....

and always.... "pour your soul out!"

I will be the first to admit, I don't have a plan, I don't have it all figured out, but I have the only solution I need. The willingness to show up for life and participate. No matter how chaotic, unpredictable and as messy as it gets. Why? Because I have witnessed for myself, the chaotic beauty of life, from a place of inner-stillness.

With a professional architectural degree, writing this blog as a "starving artist"; I can attest to, "it didn't go as planned." However, my goal has always been to feed my soul; to enhance the well-being of peoples lives around me while doing so.

Naturally artistic and forever curious, I followed my passions early in life by pursuing my studies in Architecture. I graduated Cum Laude with a Professional Bachelors of Architecture Degree from Boston Architectural College in May 2018. Alongside my passion for architecture, curiosity is what has allowed me to experience not only the architectural profession but many arts cross-disciplinary. I have held numerous creative and demanding positions over the past 15+ years, all of which I have prepared me to be the person I am today.

My love for architecture has not limited my creative curiosity, instead it has allowed my natural talents flourish.

I am very passionate about the spaces and products I create. As an entrepreneur, architectural major and natural born artist; I am a firm believer that space and the things in them affect your well-being. Whether it be interior, exterior or in anywhere in-between... Your spaces should evoke positive energy and better the quality of your life.

When people are in a space that they enjoy being in, everything else around them becomes more enjoyable as well. Whether your goal is to be more productive, more calm, more focused or more at peace... It all starts in the spaces and energy around you.

It all starts with a handcrafted reminder from Poured Soul Art to go with the flow.

"Beauty exists, beyond the surface of chaos."

Life isn't about the destination, it's about the journey. I look forward to sharing in beautiful chaos with you all, now that I've poured my soul out... Time to pour soul art!

Be well friends,

K.
