2020 stole plenty, but it also drew me back to art. I drew prolifically in elementary school but then moved on to a high school that did not have an art program. Flash-forward to my late 30's, looking for ways to cope with the chaos around me, I found solace in creating once again and I haven't looked back. It has given me an additional reason to wake up every morning, new eyes with which to see the world around me, and new appreciation for the seemingly simple things in life.
