For instance, I had never noticed the word inside the word — HeART 💜 Now, for sure, I had written andContinue reading “Seeing ♥️ Art”

My Amazing Day

Life is amazing. I know, because I have more life behind me than what’s up ahead. And I was just thinking, how when I was a kid the simplest things made me happy. Like, if I woke up and the sun was out and shining. That made me happy, that was it. That was allContinue reading “My Amazing Day”

Steadying My Art

Woke. Crawled out of bed. Still breathing 🙏 After being a little silly yesterday, I’m feeling pensive today. I was just thinking… what were you doing?

Sharing My Art Journey… Pt 4

My FaceBook Art

I’m an artist. There, I’ve said it. Over the past four years, I’ve posted a lot of art on social media. It’s as much of a healing process as it is therapeutic for me. Never did I expect the level of success that I’ve gained from having put my work “out there”. Never did IContinue reading “My FaceBook Art”
