The light has shifted,
flashing a silent song to the surface
that, somehow, I’ve never heard before.
The tempo ticks within me.
A heartbeat crescendos
to a symphony - percussion
that shakes me to my knees,
but nobody hears a sound.
I hum the tune
frantically
to anyone
who will listen. But -
nobody knows
or nobody cares.
The light has shifted,
flashing a silent song to the surface
and it is just for me.
Once curiosity begins to flow for intuitive artist, Mindy Wara, she gets swept up in its current. Whether exploring a new medium or researching her next collection, she soaks up all the information she can hold until it floods her studio, saturating her artwork with a deepened understanding and fresh perspective.
Best known for her evocative, abstract watercolor paintings, Mindy’s work spans several mediums and sparks curiosity and introspection. Her dedication to creative storytelling is evident in her founding of the Neurodivergent Artist-Mother Collective and other community initiatives.
Mindy’s work has earned her the 2023 Best Artist of Sun Prairie Award, a 2023 cover feature in Neighbors of Windsor & DeForest Magazine, and a 2022 ATHENA Award nomination. Beyond the studio, she applies creative storytelling to her marketing and design work with mental health organizations, raising awareness and ending stigma surrounding neurodivergence and perinatal mental health.
Mindy works out of her home studio in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, where she lives with her husband, son, and two spoiled cats.
