She enjoys letting the paintbrush take away the emotions she's unable to speak. She talks through symbolism, impressionism, and expressionism of her paintings. She enjoys being open about her brushstrokes. It explains how she feels she said. It's like the beginning of the painting through the process is her watching her younger self grow up all over again. As the painting finishes she witnessed her growth to the present day.
