20 Mar Lazaretto
If you've been following my blogs or work last year then you know 2019 was really bad for me. Actually, it seems like it wasn't too kind to many people. I looked forward to 2020 like it was a fresh start and I'd be leaving...

31 Dec A Decade of Healing
As we are entering the new decade, there has been a lot of self-reflection. Not just within myself as a person but also as an artist. Who was I ten years ago? Let's first figure out the timeline. If we're relating it to this time...
14 Nov Gentle Reminders
Anxiety and depression both go hand in hand. It's almost impossible to have one without the other, in most regards. For me, I always have to give myself gentle reminders that these feelings are not permanent. I say, "I do have the power to overcome...
06 Nov A Silent Promise

09 Jul Why I don’t show tattoos in my work
