I want this.

This is what joy looks like.

This fullness.

This passion

This is the best

Total loving

Ripe living.

Sometimes you just have to embrace the difficult, to do more than accept, in order to move forward with love and understanding.

Bathing beauties

This is real. How it should be. I aspire. Best life. I have it in me. Unformed. But I am held back.

By my….Not my depression. Not the anxiety. But I am held back. It is the “Acceptance”

The learning to look, to see and understand myself. Their joy and beauty, can it be mine too?

Body acceptance. Not body avoidance.

Bathing beauties,  a series of drawings and prints on the theme of cold water swimming and body dysmorphia, and acceptance through repetition and exposure as I continue to move forward with my recovery.

“Take a bite” she said.

“See how sweet and delicious it is?”

Such a simple thing!

Like hearts like wings 4.jpg

Feint or faint.

I don’t want to be faint of heart.

I look for strength.

I know it is there.

Stay on the path 23-24

Julie Begen - Mixed media Artist. Creating drawings, paintings and textile pieces, with an aged, vintage feel. I collect everyday domestic objects from the past. Photographs, textiles, kitchenalia,  sewing stuff, buttons....the discarded detritus of those who have gone before us. A healing and an understanding.
