"Make Whole"
“Make Whole”
Tetraptych 9” x 12” watercolor
Wynne Leung McIntosh, 2020
I was raised in a family of engineers, though I always felt more connected to the arts. Somehow, I continued to draw, paint and sketch throughout college. There were several times that I attempted to make art full time. First time was right after college. Then again in Kelowna. Third time in Seattle and most recently in San Francisco. I'm about to try again.
Make Whole is a piece that I made as one piece with four papers taped together. I hope that she serves as a gentle reminder that it will take time to "put myself together again" so to speak from having taken apart what I loved the most growing up. I hope that she continues to encourage me.
Today, finally without financial challenges in my life for the very first time. I'm feeling scared and excited on this new journey. Despite everything I hope that this effort and courage brings me closer to the artist that I want to be and a more whole and complete being.
