In the Artists Residence space at the Van Gogh Exhibit, I hosted a series of talks with some of the amazing artists from the Yellow House Initiative. Van Gogh was one that often used his art to find purpose in his life, or to try and reconcile some of the tragic things that were taking place in it. Like Van Gogh, many of the artists here including myself use art to decipher our lives, our feelings, thoughts, and other things going on in the world that matter to us. I held conversations with the Artist about how their art has helped them overcome, or cope with depression and trauma. We spoke on how they relied on art to get them through dark times and how art has helped them heal. These talks were live open to the public to attend.
In this Episode Matthew and Myrt talk about becoming and being your true self. That means learning what it means to accept who you are. He speaks on how he went through a couple bad surgeries that derailed everything he wanted to do, and how he ended up getting lost in art to bring himself back. He and Myrts Spoke on the power in collaboration. Most folks uses their art to heal and find clarity. Matthew finds himself creating for the love of helping others. He said once " I want to make all my friends rich". So he creates to provide opportunity for those around him. He wants to help them become the best version of themselves. "If you throw enough stuff at the wall, something will stick" He speaks on never stop creating because it will eventually take you to a place you want to be. Tune in to catch these gems and more!
