So what I’m saying is art work is work. It’s about working and praying that that inspiration will find you hard at work.

So my message to you is: Keep going. If you are flagging, keep going. Don’t give up when it’s hard. You got this. ❤️

I don’t take this sort of being in the zone lightly. It’s rare and beautiful. And I feel like it is a gift from the universe after spending the past year scratching in the dirt.

I literally woke up from a dead sleep last night with a fully formed idea. Then this morning when I was sketching it out and writing down my notes, the perfect title for it appeared.

And at the end of 2025 I journaled through a lot of that resistance and it comes down to making the decision to not let the world dictate my joy or how I should accomplish that.

So now I’m back to what I do and I’m so excited about what’s happening and the ideas I’ve been generating.

I know I shouldn’t be amazed at what 4-6 hours a day will accomplish and yet here I am amazed.

Last year was a hard year for me. I had a lot of resistance to being in the studio. I think I was hyperaware of the dichotomy of joyous art making and what’s happening in the world.

Thank you!

Thank you!!

I need to do turmeric more often because I love that color so much but I always end up with tea as my go to.

The sari silk tassel spent the morning hanging where the yellow tassel is hanging now but I had to swap them out because I needed that yellow there. I’m getting close to done with this piece after work today.
