Hard to believe it's already September! As summer shifts to fall I'm shifting towards making art for myself rather than everyone else, and returning to some old writing projects. What are your creative goals for September? #caribbeanamerican #caribbeanculture #jamaica #folkart #folklore

2. Creativity gets easier with practice
3. I finally figured out my process 😌
