"Nature is so wise and so... generous.
Generous, because it gives us everything we need."

This has been an interesting concept to explore. It's wild how complex deer antlers can get! ✨🦌
I’m selling the original print of my Marceline piece! Check out my Etsy store for more details 🍎
My last piece for 2020. I've been resting and being with friends and family (virtually). If you haven't been able to do much lately because the clouds have been weighing you down, I just want to let you know that I see you and I'm with you. There's one quote that I go to that gives me a sense of peace, hopefully it can be for you too: "And I know sometimes you cannot breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent. But nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again." -- Finn Butler It's been an extremely difficult year, but I hope that you all take care and be gentle with yourselves, knowing that these hard times will pass. I'm going to take time off away from here too, but looking forward to what the new year has in store. Stay safe and warm, and thank you for being here 🤍
Good news everyone, my Etsy store is now open! Link is in the bio ✨👋✨
Be sure to spread the word, thanks!
"I'm sorry for letting you go." "I'm thankful for you holding me at all." I get hesitant whenever I post work related to emotional topics like grief or heartbreak. But, I want to keep reminding myself that feelings need to come and go naturally. Even if the process can be painfully slow, it helps me with the process of moving forward. And if my work can resonate and help others as it's helping me, emotionally and creatively, then that's okay too. I hope you all have a good restful weekend and taking moments to breathe ⛅️!
Happy Chinese New Year ✨🧧🐀 新年快乐!
It's been pretty fun designing them, so I'm looking forward to see how they'll all look like in one chart!
I made this piece a few months back and it took me enough mental strength to finally post what I have. The older version seemed somber and still, so I intensified the melancholy look, on how grief and heartache can continue to hold on after the moment(s) has passed.
But instead of trying to "Not think about it" or forget, sometimes it's best to get in tune with how you're feeling, imagining this feeling like a temporary visitor. Sit with it, hold its hand, tell it, "I see you, I hear you," and when you're ready, let them leave, until the next time if or when they come back.
Here's to peace, here's to healing, and here's to feeling your feelings this holiday season ✨
Ever since daylight savings, I felt more fatigued than usual. Does anyone else feel that way?
