MIA – I know right? I have been MIA literally because I have been making new art while learning new mediums, (to me) oils and charcoal. At first, I hated it now I love it! Isn’t that how it goes? Starting over with something new is never easy or fun but when you get it there is such a feeling of accomplishment! Not only that, I have already sold some pieces! SO exciting! Here are some of the projects I’ve worked on! (warning I’ve been super busy!)
