Dream A Little Dream
Dream A Little Dream So what do you do when you’re on hold with GoDadddy? Pass the time making an ACEO. I was waiting for a long time for answer. And of course, nothing is ever straight forward. I’m in the middle of moving my hosting to a new, much quicker and more secure…

Cherish Yourself (Every Day)
Cherish Yourself Every Day This piece has had a number of transformations. Most of it has been with the background. I thought I was done back on February 24th with this one, but no, I was still not happy with the background. I didn’t want to take away from the message to cherish yourself…

Never Be Anyone But Yourself
Never Be Anyone But Yourself You Are Beautiful After finishing “#Dreamer” last year, I discovered that I really like working with the washi tape to make abstract portraits.
