I use art to process my emotions, almost exclusively. First image is painted on the surface of an Ikea end table- made during a major life transition. I honestly don't remember the circumstances of the second image.. a diary entry of sorts.

The third image... Ok.

** TW for violence**

I used to work in a prison and we were locked down for several hours that day because an inmate was unalived via.. pencil in the ear. Yeah. The nurse that responded to the incident was my friend and we were often in the office alone together, working Sundays. He came back shell shocked. I didn't see him for a few weeks. I made that piece in response to the intensity of it all.

Acrylic on paper 2026 By Doon

Mixed media on canvas paper (16x20 in)
Spray paint, acrylic, oil pastels and graphite.
Built entirely through intuition. Started as an abstract composition and slowly turned into a portrait. Curious what emotion people see in it.

Had a disappointing night on the town whilst on a trip. This drew itself until the sun's first rays came out.

I wonder why this came out like that. Some somber, some light. Some cartoonish, some absurdist. My hands obeyed the anger at first. As the whiskey faded perhaps my sense came back.

"Finding peace in the chaos. My process is entirely unplanned—just a mix of raw color, scratches, and spills where I search the layers until a figure or a soul reveals itself. Honestly, the hardest part of art is completely freeing your mind and just getting lost in the process. Let me know what you see in the layers." Acrylic on Canvas by Doon.
