Writing eases my suffering…writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence

– Gao Xingjian

The quote is the inspiration behind this blog and why I started creating art. While writing eases the suffering of the author of this quote, I started creating art as a way to ease my suffering with depression and anxiety. I started creating small vintage inspired art collages in my journals, travel notebooks, and sketchbooks. I had no idea what I was doing but creating these collages has helped to calm my soul and to take my mind off things. I enjoy the process of creating and seeing how much I’ve grown as an artist. I created this blog in April of 2022 as a way to chronicle my work.
