A Year of Challenges

In February, life threw a curveball my way when I was furloughed from my IT job of 14 years. Like many of you, I faced uncertainty and the stress of looking for new work. With the continuous pressure of finding a stable income, I’ve realized how important it is to keep my creative practice alive. Art has always been my haven, and it’s where I gain solace during tough times.

Exciting News: Furlough Sale!

To help keep my creative dreams afloat, I am excited to announce my very own furlough sale! You can grab 50% off on select items using the code furlough at checkout. This sale is a way for me to say thank you for your support during this transitional period. It’s not only about making art; it’s also about sharing it with you, my beloved community.

However, please note that there’s a limit of one discount per person to ensure that more of you can enjoy the discounted prices. I believe that art should bring joy to everyone, and I’d love for you to take part in this special offer.

As I navigate this new chapter in my life, I am determined to focus on what I love—creating and sharing art that speaks to social justice as well as connects with others. I truly appreciate each one of you for being part of my journey, especially during these challenging times.

Thank you for joining me, and I’m looking forward to sharing more updates, thoughts, and of course, art with you all. Please explore the website and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or comments. Let’s make this journey one of healing and creativity together!
