Every piece begins with an idea, a vision that exists only in your mind 🎨

Then comes the process. The part where it doesn’t always make sense yet, where you question it, change it, build it layer by layer, and simply have to trust yourself and your skills.

And eventually, that vision comes to life. Something you once only imagined, and sometimes, something even better than you imagined🫶🏽

A reminder I keep coming back to:

“No matter what tools you use to create,
the true instrument is you.
And through you,
the universe that surrounds us
all comes into focus”

I’ve been limiting my time online lately for many reasons, one of them being how easily it can influence the creative mind without us even realizing it.

Life feels more real when I’m offline. More peaceful, more present, a little slower. It gives my imagination and ideas room to flow without the distractions and noise that can pull me away from them🎨

It also brings me back to my childhood. I never wanted to waste time on things that didn’t feed my creative mind. I was always in my own little world, surrounded by my books, my writing, and my art. Somewhere along the way, I think we forget how important it is to protect that space within ourselves.

Working on a new series of art! 🤍 Putting the sports pieces on pause for now while I explore something a little different. My goal is to have at least 3 pieces from this new series completed before the end of the year. Very excited to see this series come to life! ✨

Went to Mexico City and brought back more than memories. 🇲🇽💕 When I travel, I love bringing home something from that country that can stay with me long after the trip is over. So I went to an art bazaar and found two pieces by local artists that I truly connected with🎨

In Mexico City at the Frida Kahlo Museum 🎨🇲🇽

I’ve always watched movies about Frida Kahlo and read books about her life and her work, so being able to walk through her home today felt like a dream come true.

To stand in the spaces where she once lived, felt, and created was something I’ll never forget. Seeing her artwork in person felt so different, you could almost feel the pain, emotion, and vulnerability behind some of her pieces, but also her strength and passion for creating.

As an artist myself, being able to experience the place where so much of her story and art came to life was incredibly special. ❤️‍🩹🎨
