Anxiety
Severe anxiety and the desire to solve it led to beginning my new journey
My name is Jerry Hanzl. I am a digital artist and a photographer in Central Florida. I am retired but still active with my art. A little over a year ago I went to therapy for extreme anxiety, and after spending my whole life in the closet, I came out to my therapist. Then I quickly came out to myself and my family and friends. This first year has been hard but I am glad I was finally being true to myself. I have been working on a new series of images to express some of what I am going through.
I don't feel the Rainbow
The forest is dark, there are phone screens from the apps. The small figures are my wife and my lesbian fairy god mother. It's very hard to come out this late in life and I feel alone in the dark woods.
Online Therapy
Online therapy changed my life. My anxiety is gone and I came out
This is Us
Trying to understand the relationship of a life long marriage and the reality that I am finally accepting myself.
Every now and then I fall apart
This is kind of self evident. I do fall apart on occasion.
Are you in or out?
I had to change my body if I was coming out. I have lost 50 pounds and I am lifting weights and building new muscle
Sometimes I dance
Come together over me
I hope my life is coming together. The puzzle is a profile pic from the apps and completing the puzzle is putting out the fire.
Everything is going to be alright
Hug little Jerry
My therapist told me to meditate and go back and hug little Jerry and tell him everything was going to be alright. That turned into two images
The cold water doesn't get warmer when you jump in late
I got my wings at my first Pride
Taking steps to be seen
What if I fall, Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?
I'm Coming Out
Sometimes I scream
At times I don't see the colors
Sometimes I feel like
the oldest man on Grindr
Sometimes I feel like one of the boys.
This collection is still in the creation stage,with more to follow. I am looking for gallery representation to show the series when completed. jerry
