We are all seduced by it. We have gotten to know her at some point in our lives. Spent endless nights feeling her heaviness – tossing and turning asking our selves, how can I stop this? The answer is simple: all you need is some creativity and determination.

No, I am not talking about some sensual female sumo wrestler – I am talking about anxiety. Such a sneaky fucker and such a source of inspiration! (in a pushy way). How many times have you started doing something out of anxiety – something that turned into an actual fun hobby (e.g. collage making, painting, knitting, baking, whatever floats your boat). You see, I always think of anxiety as that jealous person in high-school that made fun of your skills or looks as some form of “compliment” or “praise” (they were jealous for a reason, right?).

I’m not sure, but I think  Jenny Harp knows this “person” too. I feel Jenny actually tamed that beast called anxiety and made it her accomplice in creating colorful artwork.   More of us should tame that beast too, don’t you think? I mean come on, I wouldn’t be opposed to making it my bitch so I can create artful collages all the time!

Thanks Jenny for flipping the bird to anxiety and giving two thumbs up to creativity and, thanks anxiety for giving humanity that little push we all need once in a while – like a creative kick on the butt!

Speaking of kicking butt – check out Jenny’s rocking work:
