Flight

Flight

a little bit of introspection here… Flight is a bit personal for me–i spent a while developing it.  To me, it remains a work in progress (on all fronts…lol) Every now and then, I give little coded messages to self. Friendly reminders and gentle nudges. I’ve a real bonafide interest in illustration–and every once in [...]

Self (again)

Self (Again)

Another self portrait I started on my way up to New York.  I took a reference pic to keep me occupied on the Bolt Bus up to New York. (and to kill some of the anxiety I felt before the conference.)  Of course, I did not complete it until after I returned back to DC…(and [...]

MobileArtCon Day 1: Opening Session

MobileArtCon II – Check! (plus *smile*)

  MobileArtCon Day 1: Opening Session by MiaBia_DC A couple things– This post is not likely to be superbly written.  I have sacrificed a sharp mind (sleep) for passion.  And after the past 2 months I’ve had, I can tell you–passion has a way of nourishing you–I think you could maybe replace all forms of [...]

Final (my addition to the piece)

A Healing Touch: The Facts (#18)

I found the following on Hurt.net, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about the devastating impacts of domestic violence and abuse on the Australian population:  The United Nations State of World Population Report (2005) revealed that gender based violence globally is the most widely spread and socially tolerated of human rights violations. They found that [...]

A Healing Touch: The Facts (#17)

To address the worldwide issue of violence against women, we must all re-evaluate our own views…of self, women and our “accepted roles”.  Recognize that we are all responsible and play a part in keeping the women, men and children of our communities safe. What I have found in my research is that women’s perceptions of [...]

A Healing Touch: The Facts (#16)

Today is my birthday.  That makes this effort no less important.  In fact, i have been trying to find facts that deal with the subject of birth… I came into this world pretty healthy.  No doubt it had much to do with my mother’s environment and experiences while pregnant. I wondered what effects abuse and [...]

Some states have no laws at all, others have flawed laws which may punish some forms of violence but exempt others. Even [...]
