#upcloseshot of my most recent piece. I’ve been working my tail off trying to get ready for #strattonfirstfriday When I took some time to reflect today, I realized how far I have come. Less than a year ago I had a hard time even calling myself an artist. I felt like I needed a merit badge handed to me to make me legit. I finally decided that I had to take myself seriously and start finishing things, even when they got hard ESPECIALLY when they got hard. So friends, join me in showing up for this life because the world needs what we got. #noshame #letsdothis #inspiredbythis
