Joanne is an artist living in Gold Coast/Yugambeh, Queensland.
She has dabbled in art since she was a young person however it has only been the past few years where art has become a major part of Joanne's daily life.
Joanne has struggled to allow her creativity to flow through her without her "inner critic" making her doubt her abilities, however, has slowly become more confident thanks to the help of her family and friend, mentor and art teacher.
Her choice of medium is almost always watercolour and pen however the artist has recently dabbled in oils.
Rocks In My Head, shows how my own inner thoughts positive and negative affect me.
Having had depression, anxiety and body issues since childhood these words show what I think about myself and what I tell myself daily.
From the higher realms of love and self-acceptance and peace I am still struggling with my lower thoughts about myself.
Will I ever overcome? I don't know, but I am who I am, and it is quite confronting self-talk.
