Being an artist is a long haul journey. You have to keep showing up and doing the work, even when it seems like nothing is happening. I envisioned it much like this sower, casting seeds. It doesn’t look like much is happening at first but when things take root and start to grow, you will reap a harvest. This is my “note to self” to keep casting seeds. “The Sower” acrylic, metallic gold on 16 x 20 canvas.

Seeing all the #metoo posts on social media today breaks my heart. So much pain... I’m sorry. I so want to say something helpful, and truth be told I’ve written an deleted much already. So please just see my heart. And know that I am for you. #art #sketch #heartbroken #loveoneanother #artist

There are days where you feel like you’re getting hit from the outside & inside. On those days you feel drained and it’s hard to fight. It feels like your weakness have been exposed and exploited. Those days the voices taunt louder. The weight of the journey is felt more acutely. And there’s no bow to tie up nicely. Today, is one of those days. | art inspired by Muhammad Ali @muhammadali .

These are words I heard today in an audiobook. When it comes to this journey I'm on, this is something I struggle with every now & then. I want to be further along. Get "there" faster. I want to have certain opportunities bear fruit already. It's harder to be still, or just focus on what is right before me. But I'm trying. | art inspired by @brawyoga #yoga #yogi #yogaart #yogaartist
