I will satrt with a bit of my testmony to start this blog.
I was 21 and homeless and alone until I met the man who would later on become my child's father. While seeing my therapist
one day she sugested I try a hobby of some sort.
So, I went to the public library and went to the carft books section.
I found an how to draw flowers book & a how to draw anmie book.
My first drawing ever shared on the internet was a pair of lips.
That was 2017 and the year I started my journey as an artist.
In 2019 I began to take my art seriously and got published in a friends book about kniting and mental health.
MY friend Ashlee published my artwork and a bit of my atory in her book.
You can get her book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Knitting-101-Knit-Like-Badass-ebook/dp/B07FNFSG3Y
You can fidn my artwork shown above on page 24 in her book.
In 2020 I was in a mental rollar coaster and it is now in 2023 coming to a hault because I fillied for divorce.
Being an artist has shapped and moudled me into the person that I am today.
Here are my links and my book.
