{"id":5,"count":12,"description":"I heard someone say that photography was therapy and I believe that it is the same for me. \r\nI use my art of self portraits to go inside, discover and learn about myself. My art is an attempt to bring feelings to the outside, assuaging or intensifying them, but in the end always serving as a tangible transition from emotion to growth.\r\nIn some respects, my art serves as a companion and\/or a guide; an ever-evolving emotional, spiritual and physical reminder of where I am now, where I\u2019ve been and a key to where I will go.\r\n\r\nMelanie Ann\r\n","link":"http:\/\/www.melanieannportraits.com\/?cat=5","name":"Portraits of Self","slug":"portraits-of-self","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.melanieannportraits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/categories\/5"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.melanieannportraits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.melanieannportraits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.melanieannportraits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts&categories=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
