Healing Through…My Interview with Artist Katherine Brannock
We're three months into 2022 and I gotta tell you, the astrology was correct, these first few months have been a rollercoaster! I share some Cosmos News about our Full Moon on Friday and the tense energies that will stay with us for a few more weeks. So let's send good thoughts to make sure we all make it to April when we get to experience the Jupiter-Neptune conjunction and some much-needed kindness.
To celebrate Women's History Month I wanted to kick off my series on healing through art and how it's connected to a spiritual awakening. I am so fortunate that my good friend and artist, Katherine Brannock agreed to talk with me about her journey and how art gave her mind the strength to come to terms with the abuse she received as a child. She is currently focusing her efforts on developing new and exciting intellectual properties, designed to alleviate symptoms arising from Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, otherwise known as CPTSD.
Her first book series: The Adventures of Someday Mouse; is an affirming work of art and literature intended to inspire everyone to seize the preciousness in every moment. It is appropriate for all ages and can be found on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok @SomedayMouse.
Her latest intellectual property, The Weikenings, is an autobiographical, alphabetical allegory for dissociative amnesia. One of the outstanding features of this project is the meticulously crafted creatures called weikenings. They not only represent beacons of hope and incremental progress, but they dually act as a cathartic tool for Katherine to process her own trauma. You can follow the development of this project on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok @Katherine Brannock.
