The photo doesn't do it justice (It never does) It's simple (Though no less terrifying) Rudimentary (I'm still learning) Deeply personal (Aren't they all) And the first art I've ever done That I can honestly say I'm proud of I made this (Oil pastels on paper. No filter/edits.)

🧵 Impromptu #meettheartist inspired by yesterday being my shop-iversary, and today's post-photoshoot/snow day/'90s vibe. (I promise I'm more cheerful than I look in this picture. It was a mood lol.)

This month's Voices newsletter theme is Simple Joys. In keeping with it, I have found myself returning to an old favorite pastime: tabletop rpg. We're starting up a campaign with close friends and I am just beside myself with excitement.

••• So much has inspired me these last weeks. There is beauty to be found. There is peace. There is love. There is joy. And all of that... trumps fear. Be brave. •••

••• Make art. In turmoil, triumph, delight, or despair... make art. Art bridges gaps. Softens hearts. Opens minds. Inspires action. Art is connection. Art reminds us we are not alone. And we are NOT alone. Not now. Not ever. •••
