Emerging from a lengthy social media hiatus is always a little strange!
The past year has been full of challenges and upheaval, and it was incredibly important that I take time to help my family. Guilt about taking a break really dissolves quickly when health is involved, and absolutely made it easier to re-prioritize things. I know that I am not alone in experiencing this during a pandemic.
Amid being overwhelmed, it has been so rewarding to build back time into my schedule for my personal art practice and experimentation. When you rediscover that strong foundation it is hard to imagine how you managed to step off of it at all.
Most importantly, I’m just taking the time to stop and smell the roses whenever I can these days.
1. Started as a doodle in my digital sketchbook.
2. Followed by a fun, loose sketch.
3. The final graphite drawing was edited and colored digitally in Photoshop.
