Allowing others to see and potentially criticize my art is extremely cathartic. Some of the pieces filled me with joy as I worked on them, others sadness or loneliness or anger. I’m used to people seeing me happy – but lonely or sad, almost never…allowing people to see the things created in a vulnerable state of mind is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done but also one of the most healing. This process allows me to embrace things within myself that I might not otherwise. As I’m trying to develop as an artist, I’m challenging myself constantly to express more, go deeper.... You are seeing my experiences, my life. Dayan Morgan-Sylvaen              © 2005 Copyright MorganArts
