This post reflects on my belief that true passion is driven by the self, not by external validation. I question whether a passion would still matter if no one else were around, and conclude that mine would. I know I would always continue to paint and draw, regardless of circumstance. I also mention starting two new oil paintings; one completing my “Woman’s Journey As Christ” series and one simple nude, both currently drying.

Progress update on my 'opposite of Son' oil painting, upcoming SmArt School classes, and the early stages of my graphic novel project. Exploring new art ideas, themes, and future plans.

Sketches, experiments, and my first digital piece are in this mix as I prepare for future NFT projects. I’m learning Procreate while keeping my process rooted in traditional methods!
