drippy emotions Painting

the past is the past and i'm evolving every moment... i've experienced a lot in my short life and some of it i'm not so proud of, however i learned so much along the way and i wouldn't be telling you about me without it all ;) tbh i didn't know who the f*ck i was until 2020 and i learn new things about myself every single moment :) a lot of my artwork is incredibly emotional and it also still feels vulnerable in a sense. it's incredibly important to me because there's so much there to unwrap. in short, i've struggled with sexuality since forever ago and was a misprogrammed catholic boy who also struggled to find spirituality or faith in anything so it was a constant struggle in figuring out who i was and then constant thinking that i had to come to terms with my sexuality + announce it to the world. today, i see sexuality as fluid just like everything else in life... nothing is constant... loving myself has made me really comfortable today though... duh, i wish it was that easy tho hehehe... i am going to briefly touch on the past, but i don't live in it anymore so it'll be brief :) ooo... let me introduce myself before this ramble ;) my name is timmy wozniak and i am a creator :) -i was born and raised in a catholic family in saint paul, minnesota and have two brothers (one older + one younger) and a younger sister -both of my parents are still living, however divorced... -bounced between los angeles, california and denver and minnesota for a few years as well -in 2015 in the height of my opiate addiction, i royally f*cked up and emotionally and financially hurt a lot of people around me who loved me in a lot of ways and it was not intentional by any means + i was so lost + gone at the time to even realize :( + i spent time in jail in Denver in 2017 because of it + the state calls me a felon (if you're reading this + are one of those who are affected... i love you + i'm sorry + i miss you + send positive energy your way) -while in minnesota in 2018 + 2019, i designed and opened a hybrid retail sneaker + streetwear store + music/gaming/pop-up/event/live art venue -currently and since 2020, i've been living in los angeles -i have a lot of artistic influences...
