I've always loved to draw, especially girls. But I never dared to put any color on my drawings for fear of "ruining" it. In the last few years, I began to fall in love with painting and realized that colors add so much more to my drawings. But I have never seen myself as an artist... just someone who enjoys drawing and painting. I stopped drawing for a long time and took it up a few years ago when I went through some tough periods in my life. It is cliché but true. Art saved me. It was my outlet. I joined art groups on Facebook because I did not know anyone else around me who loves to draw/paint like I do. The wonderful people on Facebook art groups have changed my life. Thanks to their encouragement, I began to embrace myself as an artist. And it is these wonderful people who encouraged me to open an etsy shop. I am not in this to make money. To me, art is my way of connecting with like minded people. All of my paintings feature girls with an attitude, girls with something to say. My hope for my work is to touch someone, bring a smile to someone, give hope or encourage someone. Since the opening of my shop, I have gotten requests from people to paint their daughters for them. I am so touched by that and so honored to do it for them. And it makes me especially happy when the recipient loves the work:) Thanks for reading this story and I hope my shop will bring you a smile:)
