Drawing Challenge: Day 99 – The Apocalypse

I had a lot of really good suggestions for this topic, one in particular stood out to what I feel ‘the last days’ would be like, for ‘if ye are prepared – ye shall not fear’…:

“After thinking for a bit, I was reminded of some camping trips we had in the mountains watching the sun go down where you knew that soon the darkness would envelope you…and in that stealth the change comes… (like the light of the campfire)… So… for the imagery I pictured the opposite…the darkness already there, but with the rays of sunshine coming behind me… as in a sunrise…the feeling of renewal, (with the rays on your face) that made me turn toward it with hope, a new beginning, impelling me, pulling me to forge on toward those rays of light.” – Carol

About the Artist

I am an advocate first, and an artist second. My paintings create visual comfort-- spaces where grief, hope, and healing can live together without apology...

I paint what matters most: the people you cherish, the moments that shaped you, the feelings that need witness. Through art, your most precious memories move outside of you and into your home, where they can be held, seen, and never forgotten.

My work is rooted in three commitments: honoring the experiences of indigenous communities and the history of the land we inhabit; creating safe space for children and women whose voices have been silenced; and recording the honest truth of lived experience-- both my own and that of those who came before me. I believe art has the power to tell stories that words alone cannot, and to preserve what must not be lost or forgotten. I believe that all that we know about ourselves is because Art has preserved those stories throughout history, outliving those who created it.

When you encounter my work, I hope you find yourself in it-- not as escape, but as recognition. I hope it reminds you that your feelings matter, that your story deserves to be held, and that compassion and truth are still worth carrying forward.

Art is the voice that speaks honestly through the heart. 💝🪷
