The beginning.

Well this is the beginning of an exciting chapter. One that has been on my to-do list for over a year now and I have never had the confidence to pursue this venture. The venture of showing my art to the world outside of Instagram; creating a website to showcase, talk about and sell my art work.

Instagram has been my safety net for a few years now, but I have always known that I wanted to have a different format to share my art as well as my thoughts. Instagram captions can only go so far you know? A blog to me is a diary entry for me, and it allows me to share my art practice with you, in a more direct way I guess.

I know that we all have something to say, but for so long I have prevented myself from allowing myself to be heard by others in fear of others not understanding my work, or not having any interest in it. But I guess that is not what this is for, for me. It’s moving through my own barriers that is important to me in doing this. It’s finally saying to myself that I can do things and forget the fear of judgement. That concept has prevented me from taking risks for a very long time, but after listening to a lot of Nicholas Wilton content in recent months, and watching my own friends and family set goals and acheive them in their businesses, I am finally at a point where I want to do this for myself.

And I hope that you want to come along for the journey too! What I am saying to myself is, that this is not going to be perfect. It’ll be messy but it’ll be me, and my authentic thoughts. That is what I want from others’ teachings and words, so that is the expectation I am setting for myself.

So I cannot wait to share more.

I also hope that you enjoy my work and if you have any questions about any of my pieces, please reach out!

Look forward to speaking to you soon.
