How does vulnerability and art go together then?

How does vulnerability and art go together then?
​
​
Been thinking about this a lot recently and trying to get my thoughts into bit size pieces. 

So here's my experience. I used to be a psychotherapist and I would feel most connected to my clients when they took the risk to share something new and true for themselves. Perhaps a feeling they hadn't expressed before, or a thought, or a wish they had. I still remember how heart warming and opening some sessions were...for both of us.

And so in my art practice....I am exploring new ground, bringing out what I didn't know was there, not knowing quite where it'll take me or what I'll feel about what goes down on the paper or panel. It's all a risk, and I like it this way.

This sense of aliveness shows up in my work for sure, and I think this is what makes it appealing or attractive to my viewers and buyers. They're not getting pre-meditated, "been there before" work. They are getting art that is authentic, genuine, born out of stepping into the unknown. And that's a shared experience.. 

​What do you think?
