Why Gypsy-Rose Blanchard Decided to “Shift Gears” on Her Social Media Accounts

Shortly after launching her new venture—which so far consists of art created using a blow dryer to move the paint on the canvas—the former inmate explained what inspired her to pursue the passion project.

“With abstract art, it doesn’t have to be perfect, and I’ve never been one of those girls that colored inside the lines,” she said in a video posted on BlownBeauty Art’s Instagram page Aug. 3. “So I’m excited to make something special for everyone. It’s it gives me peace, and it kind of centers me.”

And while Gypsy-Rose may be opting to keep her personal life to herself, she seems to have channeled her difficult past in her art.

“In life, we go through things that sometimes are really hard,” she continued, “and so if we can find one thing that brings us peace and centers us inside our soul, then it’s worth doing and sharing.”
