"A New Way of Being Taking Root", 36 x 36 inches, Acrylic, Oil Pastel, Graphite, An original painting from the HerStory Collection on 1.5 inch deep Gallery Wrapped Canvas. Painting comes not framed, ready to hang with hanging materials.

The paintings from my HerStory Collection are a reckoning with parts of my body and mind that have remained hidden, an attempt to decipher which narratives around womanhood, femininity, and my role in the world are actually my own, which I have inherited, and which of those need to be re-written. This collection serves as a mirror, a way to see those parts of myself, know them, and be for myself what I have always needed.
Like digging up the rotten roots and re-seeding the garden so that my daughter, and any future daughters, may enjoy the harvest to come, “A New Way of Being Taking Root” speaks to the work of unlearning the habits of trauma response that have for so long been essential to survival and re-learning how to feel safe in the world again.

    about the artist

    byMarcy Parks

    Bristol, TN

    My name is Marcy Parks and I am writer and artist creating bold and feminine expressive abstract paintings. My work is my way of processing my experience as a woman and mother. My paintings begin with me scribbling words on a canvas, uncertain of what will follow, but trusting in the impulse to create, and though I never know what they will look like, in the end I am always greeted by the abstract forms, lines, and marks that map the journey to my healing.
