“Vigil” is officially a series. This vid is eyes-wide-open painting resilience

My hope for Vigil is that it holds space to bear witness to what is real right now, stay regulated, and respond in helpful ways one moment after another.

“We are in the midst of a constitutional crisis right now. There have been so many unconstitutional and illegal actions in the first 18 days of the Trump presidency. We never have seen anything like this.” www.nytimes.com/2025...
Trump’s Actions Have Created a Constitutional Crisis, Scholars Say
Law professors have long debated what the term means. But now many have concluded that the nation faces a reckoning as President Trump tests the boundaries of executive power.

It feels like posting to @bsky.app is like shouting into the void. I’m getting a little frustrated learning a new platform. I’ve even been on here a while but I’m not sure how this works. Can you please tell me…hashtags….is that how this works? Any help in comments greatly appreciated

Psychologist, artist, progressive, part of the resistance, chronically ill, mom, living in US with kids who are targets trying to get MASSIVELY connected on BLUESKY for MY FAMILY’S SAFETY AND b/c I have words and art to share. *Let’s connect?*

Re-sharing a multi-section post I made earlier today🫀
Strangely, this year, I am again more aware than usually of the anniversary of a traumatic and disfiguring 1/14

This ensō holds the tension of light & dark; stillness & motion.

There is room here for grief, hope, *and* action.

We can stand together, defiant against despair, and hold vigil—for everything fragile, sacred, and worth fighting for.

Biggest Love in all directions, Carmen

I remember when the solace of the day was to huddle w/my phone listening to live updates from Dr. Amy Acton. She led the state AND country at the time in terms of pandemic response. Seeing that she is willing to step to the challenge of leading Ohio gives me a thread of hope for this state.
Ohio, I’m running for Governor. I’ve spent my life listening to Ohioans, helping families, and solving problems. It’s time for leadership that gives power back to the people. Together, we can build the Ohio we all dream of. Join us: actonforgovernor.com/donate-launch

Dear Bluesky artists, progressives, philosophers,& anyone literally (or imaginatively able to be) age 5:

My 1st-ever stop-motion was inspired by two things: 1) Pondering with my 5yo what it might be like if poop were sentient & had mouths. 2) the anniversary of the the Jan. 6 Riots

Love, Carmen

Human Route (2024)
Abstract figurative exploring strength, fragility, interdependence and the illusion of separateness. May art help us experience our connections in ways we can feel and talk about. We are all under one #bluesky 🫀

Parasomnia art, anyone?
Painting title: Chagall at Midnight. (2024)

I paint at night often; sleep-painting is a first for me as far as I’m aware. 😅

Any other sleep-painters, or sleep- scientists finding this up their alley? Let’s be friends :) I’m not actually this hyper-niche lol.

New painting
Flower Power 11/11/24. Abstract watercolor ostensibly of flowers suggests the darker surreality of daily life and the social structures that shape and contain us beneath facades.

One painting is not justice to the ways we participate in social inequity (historically and currently).

I painted this in 2023, and titled it Normalize Trans Thriving (alt title: Pride). I am heart-broken that the opposite of this is such an active effort by so many. Art is life. May this be so here. ❤️⭕️ #art #lgbtqia #fuckbathroombills

Help! Im new & need friends 🥰. @bsky.app where are the #artists #gallerists #artlovers #hospitalists #curators #scientists. I have a PhD in psychology & make abstract narrative art at the intersections of art, health, & psychology. I explore being human on a living planet. Who’s into this?

My first Blue Sky Post!!! I am a PhD psychologist turned spoonie artists. I hope to connect with other artists, spoonies, progressives, and old souls who also later became late bloomers iykyk.

My art journey and human journey are the same. I’d love to be “ in it” together with friends.
