Puerto Rico is healing me in ways I never expected it to….and making me feel love that I didn’t think I even deserved.

Not sure what I’m more in love with….this handmade watercolor paper or this island❤️‍🔥

Thrifted that blazer, painted that painting.

Some quick acrylic painting sessions I got in while teaching “Intro To Painting: In Acrylics”…a 6 week course at @eclipsec3. We started the course learning greyscale, color wheel, mixing paint, and practicing still life—painting simple shapes, eventually adding more complex objects to the mix. Each class we began with a lecture. Then I would do a demo—explaining light and shadow and how we can move our brush to create the illusion of form. After students would work on their assignment for the day, and at the end we would discuss our work and how we felt!

My passion for art came from nothing but my own interest in making art as a child. There wasn’t much arts and culture growing up. The odds were kind of against me to pursue a degree in the arts. I was born to two young single parents who struggled to get by to raise me, and I had to send myself to college. However, I believe art making is a natural human expression that we are all born with and have a need for! It doesn’t matter the cards you were dealt. When art calls to your soul, follow it!

Sunday, a day of reflection, rest, and reset. Today I am setting an intention. An intention that this upcoming winter I will be a flower bed. Focused on internal growth, preparing for full bloom next spring. The prep work for next years harvest starts now.
