I love how I can see something that inspires me or that I love and use it to create my own piece of art.

I saw a picture this week that had black and white flowers and loved how the contrast was so striking. So I used that inspiration to inspire this piece in my own style.

I also loved using the vintage papers for the background because it was so different from the more contemporary look of the flowers.

I also thought that the two different styles could also represent the past and the future that’s reflected in the quote.

The quote came just as I found the inspiration and I knew they were meant to be together. In today’s video I share some important lessons I’ve learned about letting go of the past and realizing strong I can be.
