Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to fighting for justice and equality. Today, as divisions in our world deepen, his vision is not just inspiring, it is urgent. The work he began continues, and it is up to all of us to carry it forward.

Be good to one another.

“As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways that I could respond to my situation: either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.”

(Not me over here crying about the gem that is Dolly 😭)
I grew up just a hop, skip ‘n jump from where Dolly’s from (NC side of the mountains).
Dolly is a great example of an artist working from the heart center 💗

In between more thought out and organized pieces, it’s important to make time for ugly and disorganized things too.

Bedtime sketchbook shapes beckoning me for daytime color. Or a nap. Depends on who’s asking 😸

Beautiful day today. I’m grateful to be alive. I’m so proud I’ve made it this far. I kept going, even when it hurt, even when I cried for days on end, even when I said goodbye to nearly everything I’ve ever known.
Despite all the horrors, persist.
Find ways to hold on to the light.

I’m a mixed media artist with a rotation of themes but an overarching focus on neuroplasticity. I believe art is therapeutic for the artist and the viewer of said art.

Tending to my mental health and limiting my news consumption, while recalling a lovely trip to the Capitol summer 2024. Riding water taxis, visiting free museums, and finding a quaint spot at the back of a bar in Georgetown to paint a sketch. The pint glass was oddly square. The temps were hot. #art

And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

All the things I want to say
but cannot say
I bite my tongue
Hold my breath
Toss
Turn
Reflect
The journey is long
The road twists into the thicket
then the woods
Wind blows
Trees fall over
Water rises
Walls fall
All empires crumble
sooner or later
Causalities pile
#poetry

First art of the new year, breaking in my new desk setup, cleaning up the remnants of last year’s palette, reflecting on the journey that’s brought me to where I stand today.
Thanks for watching & for your support - whether you’ve been here all along or just arrived 💜

-Finally- a week after painting my room, curtains are back over the windows, cork board is back over my desk, and some of my favorite paintings hang on the wall. I’m also back to the gym after that nasty late November hip injury. CAN’T WAIT to have space and energy for ART again 🎨💁🏻♀️
