Transition 🐛🦋🐢

Added 2022-09-07 16:21:12 +0000 UTC

Thank you to all of you who have subscribed to my channel. It means a lot to me to know people are supporting my art. I think there’s freedom in creative expression and creating something that comes from your heart. It’s very cathartic. I’m glad I have a platform ( no matter how small) to show people these emotions and expressions. I don’t wish to keep my art to myself anymore, like I would have in the past. I want to shout it to the world. I don’t want to dilute my true expressions in order to be liked or get praise. Being raw in my creative expressions is what I strive for, every time I pick up my camera or pen to write.

I have a saying that, ‘Art should stab you in the chest violently’. I don’t mean this literally, but all great art challenged norms and made people think differently. I’m glad I have this platform, where I have the opportunity to make that saying come true every time I create. Thank you.

I’m also making a transition to living in New York City from Chicago. It’s a little scary coming out of my comfort zone, but I know I have to and I’m taking a leap of faith. I’m excited for all the opportunities awaiting me
