Drawing Challenge: Day 86 Split in Two

I believe there are two parts of us. The part that existed, exists and comprises of all that we have learned thus far in life. The second part is yet to be created. We are the artist, in charge of creating who we want to be become. Each day is a brand new blank canvas, a fresh start. Sometimes we’ll make mistakes, and at times things will turn out not quite what we had in mind. Practice makes perfect… we have the rest of our life to try, try again. 🙂 ❤

About the Artist

I’m an artist, author, and poet. My work is often shaped by lived experiences and by paying close attention to the world around me… nature, and the people who have helped shape my life.

I usually paint first, and the words come later. Painting has been the safest way I’ve found to be honest about things that are hard to say out loud, and over time I’ve noticed other people finding their own stories in the work too.

My paintings are meant to comfort, to feel like a presence rather than a statement, and to give space for each person to find their own meaning. The connection that happens there matters most to me.
