Let it go. Let it flow. (Collage, acrylic, ink and marker pen | 2024)
For this one I stopped worrying about what it would be and let it develop on its own. My hand and pen was guided by whatever caught my eye, and went wherever I felt the piece needed something.
Turning brain off sometimes good.

Just switched to #Storygraph after losing access to GoodReads (which was connected to my now deleted FB account 😆).
Really like it and knowing it’s more values-aligned with me makes me like it all the more. 🙌❤️

A thank you sign I made for everyone that brings something to our doorstep.
I always hope it brightens someone’s day. At the very least, I hope it helps those serving others feel a little more appreciated.
If I haven’t said it enough, thank you to all the delivery folks out there.

I love love love the library! Thank you to all who make it such a welcoming, supportive and restorative place of knowledge and community. ❤️📚

Sold & ready for its new home: “Roadside Poppies” is a mixed media collage inspired by poppies I saw springing out of the sidewalk near my home.
Seeing nature still persist despite getting continually torn down never ceases to amaze me.
Made with painted junk mail and discarded paper.

Why are some projects so difficult to finish?
Perfectionism and fear are the usual suspects here.
Instead, I’m trying to let “good enough” be good enough.
We’ll see how it goes 😊
