Becoming Whole

December 29, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I notice as my dreams slowly start to become reality there is a part of me that wants to slow everything down. I start to turn apathetic, and devalue my accomplishments. No one is telling me to slow down, I […]

Alone for Christmas? Good for you!

My heart and brain disagree

December 1, 2018 Peta Sklarz

Last week was hard. I had conflicting emotions and my inner dialogue would not be quiet.  I felt like there was a parrot in my head repeating all my conversations back to me.  I felt like I was starting to […]

My power is beautiful

October 7, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I can’t choose what life throws at me, but I can choose how I respond to it.  No one can get into my head and tell me how to feel or how to act.  Even though sometimes it feels like […]

And only the beauty remains

September 15, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I sat on the bed in the hotel room and stared at the Apple laptop I had just purchased.  I tapped on some random keys to try and make something happen.  Where is the Microsoft Word and Excel? I have […]

Love and Survival

I am always right

July 7, 2018 Peta Sklarz

So I have learned an important lesson this week that maybe I should have learned a long time ago, and that is that forgiveness is about me.  I always thought forgiveness meant that I was forgiving someone else for their […]

Sitting is harder than running

June 30, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I have to be honest.  I had a rough week.  I started this blog on the premise of telling my story and sometimes my story is just shitty.  I honestly don’t want to write about this, but if I were to […]

Am I damaged?

June 9, 2018 Peta Sklarz

Am I damaged?  I used to think that I was, at the very core of me damaged or bad.  And I used to use all my energy to hide my damage to others.  I wanted to appear normal and fit […]

Am I enough?

June 2, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I am rejected

May 26, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I am scared of rejection.  I like being liked and approved of, especially from those I care about.  So, in writing about my childhood I am scared that my brothers and sisters will reject me. I am scared that they […]

Denial

May 19, 2018 Peta Sklarz

Love and desire

May 12, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I want to be loved and I want to be desired. These are two opposing dynamics within me.  To me, being loved is for someone to ‘get’ me, to see me when I am spinning out of control in my […]

I admit it, I’m obsessed.

April 21, 2018 Peta Sklarz

Ok, so I admit it, I am obsessed.  I can’t stop drawing and writing, and when I am not drawing and writing I am thinking about it.  If someone is talking to me I am thinking about how I can […]

I am invited

April 14, 2018 Peta Sklarz

So, about 4 years ago I was crazed, or maybe just partly crazy.  I was doing college visits with my daughter at UCLA and other Southern California colleges.  We rented a white dodge charger and we drove around in the […]

Sometimes happiness costs $9.99

April 1, 2018 Peta Sklarz

So, I had this week off my financial job for spring break and my daughter and I flew to Los Angeles at the beginning of the week and had a wonderful time in the LA sun surrounded by beautiful beaches […]

Peta Sklarz, Creative Entrepreneur

All women were born Queens, but we give away our power so freely that no one values it, not even us. My message behind my art is the reclaiming of our energy and power, and being the Queens we were born to be!

I live in Los Angeles California where I work as a finance professional, but my passion is writing and creating art.

My first art show ‘The Queens – Awakening the Feminine Energy within’ was on  July 25, 2019 at Nucleus Gallery in Portland Oregon.

My second art show “LA Queens – the beautiful women of LA’ was on September 21st in Santa Monica.

My 3rd art show was December 18th in Downtown LA. I  was invited to be a part of the RAW –  Natural Born Artists show.

Due to the pandemic my Art Shows are on pause.

I create acrylic paintings, prints, greeting cards and other merchandise (including T shirts).  It is all for sale at my store.
