Art and business. Creative expression. Authenticity. ✨
This blog is a space to find creative inspiration and empowerment, along with creative commentary and reality checks from observing the world around us. Artists have always told the stories of the times. As a U.S. based artist, this space may also be where I document some of the day to day realities we face as our nation descends into the grim reality we face.
Enjoy the art, the deep dives into surface pattern wonders, and know that in this space there will also be acknowledgement of the politics tearing our democracy apart, and the ways good-hearted people are committed to coming together to rebuild something better. This artist lives in real life land and welcomes all to join ❤️
