JUDY MCLAUGHLIN-RYAN
Over three and one half decades as both an artist and psychotherapist, in private practice in Westwood, California, and an art studio in Venice Beach, California, both worlds have converged, post-covid, more than ever. With such uncertainty, during and post covid, it became visually clear, that while awful can occur beyond our imagination, beauty and birth of the new, expansive curiosity, and creativity, can also reach unexpected beauty. Art shows have included The Venice Beach Art Walk, Mirror's of the Mind, and many more. Presentations focused on PTSD, Addiction and Attachment, as well as Artistic Workshops focused on Regulation, have occurred over the past three and one half decades, including a workshop for the International Doctor's of Alcoholics Anonymous. Currently developing a continued interest in neuroaesthetics and the effects art has on stress and a purposeful life.
I Am As Beautiful As Everyone, Teeth
(Oil on Canvas, 7” x 5”)
I have created a series called "Teeth". Where all of these wonderful canines have the confidence and presence of one that belongs, sees no separation between his or her or them's appearance than the next being. While all comes together, this sense of belonging wherever, whenever, whatever, prevails. There are 20 pieces, a series, called "Teeth", because they are all the same in one important way, they feel just as part of and belongingness as the next........they flow, go, feel fluid, and a part of.
