Fare thee well May! It’s day 31 of the #mayformakers2022 challenge and the curtain falls on: Start To Finish On the left, My first sale. On the right, My last. On the left, My first resin piece. On the right, My last. On the left, my first logo, delicate, simple, soft. On the right, My Current logo. Evolved. A mix of simplicity and artistic madness. It’s the same mantra in any industry: it’s not how you Start, but how You Finish. And even though this annual challenge is over..I’m far from done 🤘 #makersgonnamake #andtheymake #mayformakers2022 #artistsoninstagram #womenwoodworkers #smallbusinesslife #motherhustler (at Yonkers, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CePqSGpjWqZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s day 29 of the #mayformakers2022 challenge and tonights spotlight is on 2021 memory. This week, one year ago was my very first pop up show alongside @thebronxventure I was nervous, scared, unsure of myself. It was also the first time I had really been around the general public en masse since the Rona bitch slapped the world into their corners for a long time out. But I hustled. I grinded. I surprised myself. Now one year later, I’m still doing this? Making my own destiny? Doubting myself at every turn? With my fate however it goes being MY choice and MY hustle with MY business?… Yes, Please. #mayformakers2022 #andtheymake #smallbusinessowner #womeninbusiness #artistsoninstagram (at Yonkers, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeKtNakDdXE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s day 25 of the #mayformakers2022 challenge and todays spotlight is on “5 years from now” I hugged my boys a little tighter today, made sure they know I love them. Because You never know. Unless You’re a Soldier on the field or Law Enforcement, you never anticipate that one day may very well be your last. But it happens. Just like that. From Churches, Concerts, Christmas Parades, Schools, Subways, or just walking down the block of your own neighborhood. Just like that. This world is metastasizing into something that has become so clouded to me. So when I think of 5 years from now, it’s not a goal anymore, it’s a hope. Because it can happen. It happens. It’s happening. Just like that. #mayformakers2022 #5yearsfromnow #epiphanies #realtalk #keepit100 (at Yonkers, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_6JUJLORj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A double shot of the #mayformakers2022 challenge! Yesterdays Day 19 was about #Evolution and Todays Day 20 is Note to Self Aside from my dining table of Westeros, this piece is one of my original favorites. The definition of Evolution reads as follows: The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form. These past two years in this journey have been filled with tomes of knowledge. I truly wouldn’t be where I am now without the help of so many people. Too many to name but they know who they are. With the wealth of information they’ve given me, I owe it to them to kick ass and challenge myself in this craft. Which segues into my note to self…one of the grass roots that makes me continue this journey, all in, no looking back: Ideas are The Lost and Found of The Artist. #mayformakers2022 #evolution #notetoself #makersgonnamake #artistsoninstagram #makersofinstagram (at Yonkers, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdyrG6cpM8r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
