14 But behold, Zion hath said: The Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me--but he will show that he hath not.
15 For can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee, O house of Israel.
16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.

1 Nephi 21: 14-16

Coming soon.... :)

So, I wanted to just announce a project I'll be starting. In my figure painting class, we need to create a body of work that is tied together and work on that for the rest of the semester. I decided to focus on psychological disorders. I announced my project via facebook asking for participants and was surprised that six people messaged me! I will be focusing on the themes of depression, eating disorders, dysthymia (a form of depression), OCD, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The final results of this project may appear disturbing or uncomfortable to look at...but that's kind of the point. Mental disorders are NOT comfortable. But they are a big issue that need to be talked about, especially in the church where they are often shoved under the rug or totally misunderstood. I'll post the results of the project at the end of the semester...about mid-December or so.

Hugs!
