Opening up about my art

As I lay here, in the middle of the night, thinking about my past and future, wondering what happened and why I gave up on my dreams. You see, I love art and creating. It has been a very long time since I have allowed myself to be open to putting my heart on paper. These last few years of been extremely rough, but through it my want, my need for self expression has resurfaced.

Through this blog, I hope to share some hope and maybe even encouragement to many struggling. I will share my stories, my struggles, my art, my journey, and my heart. The truth is that art and my creative mind saved my life.

So after years and years of not touching a pencil, here is my first drawing. If you look closely there is a tiny cocoon in the tree. That is me, hiding from the world, wanting and needing the protection of that hard, self-spun coating. This was drawn in 2010. 

So this is the beginning of my new journey and rediscovery of my art and my dreams. I hope it encourages you to not ever give up and to be who you are.
