how do I tell the diference?

It is not only that MAP's paintings are excellent but that they are so revealing of the trauma that she has experienced in her life which sends ice-cold slivers down one's spine. Her paintings don't just speak to the observer; they shout; they scream out loudly; they grab-hold tightly of one's attention until it hurts. MAP you are clearly an intelligent, perceptive, sensitive, caring person, but manifestly you have been emotionally wounded and it still hurts. You have my admiration, regard, and commiserations. I trust that you are finding life easier to manage today. Thank you for inviting us (the viewers and readers) into your world of intimacy and secrets.

Dude. This is awesome. I've never seen her work. Thank you. Very good analysis of MAP's paintings too. I wish I had the courage to put the trauma of my life on canvas. I have let it out with a few songs I've written but I am feeling stuck in my art. I think that is why I needed to see her work. I am very glad I found this forum.
