This piece has soo much texture, I wish you could feel it. Using gesso and texture sand I was able to really make it grungy. I love that I could use my background papers and vintage wallpapers to create so much interest and fun!
In today’s video, I share how I was inspired by a woman who I met at one of my shows in the last few weeks. She made a comment about how she’d wished that there was as much encouragement for women “back in her day”. I knew there was a story there and so I asked about her life and the story was just beautiful. She proceeded to tell me about her dream that she held onto, that she was told she couldn’t do because back then when she was young women weren’t allowed to do those things. I just fell in love with her!
