This month, I:

I finally got a new mixed media sketchbook and have started playing in it already.

Treee!

 

I’ve had some days lately where I’ve wondered if I’m doing enough.  After writing all this out, I realize that I’ve done a lot this month  – and that I deserve the moments in between where I can rest, play, and dream.

Here are some pieces I made this month.  I had a lot of fun playing with my materials and new styles.

If you are interested in any of these pieces, please feel free to contact me for pricing and more information.

Recent Works: July Gallery

Just a few of my recent works.  I’ve been busy learning how to market myself on Facebook and Instagram while also consistently making new pieces.  I’ve sold a few items on Etsy, too.  I’m loving what I’m learning and realizing that it takes a lot of persistence and patience!  I am determined to continue doing what I love and sharing it with others.
