My journey as an artist chronicled in life events, thoughts, and musings.
It's here, it's here! My brand collaboration with Sample Room is out, and I'm just gushing with happiness over how the final product looks!

I'm usually open for these commissions, and I truly, wholeheartedly enjoy doing them! Denise emailed me a couple of weeks ago (thanks to Alexis of Ink Scribbler for the referral!).
