Hey guys, remember I've got a patreon! You can follow me for an at least monthly dump of pieces I've created for the month. Patrons get early access to the post of complete pieces, and access to sketches and in-progress work, but you'll get access to finished pieces two weeks after they've been released for patrons. 😊

💙💛🤭🙀 working on packing up some patreon goodies for my fantastic patrons! 

Did you know!!! If you're my patron, not only do you get a free print and early access to my completed work (a month before I share it anywhere else). Every few months, I'll send goodies like this as a thank you for your continued support! 

All of that is just for the first $2 a month tier, there's even more benefits to reap!! Just check it out here! 

My patrons mean the world to me, because every one I gain is another step towards being a full time artist.💙💛 . . .

Hey there! This post is for everyone, but especially for the people who are new to my work, or just want to learn more about the artist!

Like every artist, I've always been drawn to art. Visual art, music, books, poetry, video games (i will argue till my death that video games are art, have you seen those landscapes??), and of course by the best artist herself, mother nature. If you read the blurb in my about section, you know, like a lot of us, it took me a long time to see myself as an artist despite the fact that I've been creating since I was a child.

When I'm at a point where I can't seem to do anything, art is my point of refuge. It's often the thing that, no matter where my head is, I can still create. I may be struggling to get out of bed, or even feed myself, but drawing or painting is something I can still do. Because of that, creating art has always been incredibly special to me. I still struggle with feeling like what I create isn't "good enough", but I do my damndest to create every single day, no matter how small.

The reason I'm able to create seemingly endlessly (there is an end, I burn out HARD sometimes.) is because I'm inspired by everything so deeply, it almost hurts. I've just always had an insatiable curiosity and wonder for everything.

I remember as a little kid, one of my favorite pass times was watching puddles. The way the ripples moved with the wind, or little bugs. The reflection of the clouds, trees, and birds above. I would slowly drag a twig through the puddle just to watch the way the dirt swirled and settled again.

I haven't grown out of that behaviour. I've learned to embrace it and focus it into creating.

I love making art, and I want so badly to be a full time artist, and I'm working towards it every day that I can. It's thanks to people like you that move me closer to that reality.

Thank you so much!
