As we move forward into the new year it’s a perfect time to reflect on the last 12 months. How did 2020 make you feel? What do you wish you could have done? What are you most proud of? Were there any lessons you learned? Do you have any expectations for 2021?

This past year was significant in many ways for me. I observed the world around me as events unfolded and was left pretty disappointed overall. But I know that I only have the power to change myself – and my life. So I looked within to find the solutions I needed to keep moving. This is always the answer. Only you know what you need to thrive. And I found that immersing myself in nature and avoiding all negative energy was the key.

I feel like 2020 was a gift. And by that I mean it helped me to focus on what matters and pay no mind to what doesn’t. I’m going to sit back with a smile and watch this new year unfold. Many changes are coming and I welcome them all. We don’t evolve when things are stagnant. And as always I look forward to creating, exploring and continue to have hope for new opportunities.

This year is going to be a good one because I have the power to make it possible. And nothing, absolutely nothing, will get in my way.

Two days a week Elliot is home with me so I don’t schedule much work to do. He’s pretty good at keeping himself busy in the studio but can be VERY distracting 😂 So I’m not able to really focus much. This afternoon he was a bit wild and loud but was quite chill while he was drawing. And even though it was only for about 15 minutes, it makes my heart happy when he is doing anything creative, especially art. To many, many more years of drawing my love.

This truly resonates with me because as long as I can remember I felt an urge to create. Anything really. The arts just happened to be the true connection I had with the people around me. It enabled me to express myself in ways that were necessary. Whether it was drawing, capturing my vision through a lens, writing and playing music, digital design, creating unique spaces, collage, putting my thoughts and feelings on paper, or painting… I dove in and opened myself up to theworld. Creating was something I was born to do. It keeps me alive. It gives me purpose. The desire that fuels the fire within me will never fade. It’s just not possible. I simply cannot imagine who I would be without it. So I honor the gifts I hold and spread as much beauty as I can. I’m just so grateful.

Art will always be my outlet. Creating from within and allowing my mind, soul, and talents shine through design is something I am so grateful for. And being able to have a career in this field is a dream come true. Literally. My life was always about art. We all should practice it in some form or another. Whether it’s drawing, painting, digital work, writing, photography, music, dance…explore the possibilities of expression. Because even if you don’t stick with it the gifts you will receive are always worth the journey and your soul will thank you.
