I created this piece with so much freedom… something I’ve been working on for a while now.

I experimented with all kinds of different mediums and I got lost in the process.

The meaning of this piece is exactly what I’m working through right now. I wrote in my journal a few weeks back a bunch of questions for myself. It went something like this…

“Why do I make things complicated? Sometimes the answer is simple and I over think it. Why do I feel like I have to live by someone else’s definition of me … of me as an artist, as a business owner… as a mother.. as a maker and creative?

What if I were free to simplify things, truly free to have ease in my life. To let go and choose … easy, calm, rested”

Over the last few weeks, in situations where I start to feel overwhelmed… I ask myself… “What if I were free to…..

What if you were free and what if things were more simple than we make them.

I share about this journey and how it came out in this project. I hope it inspires you, and I share more about it in the video.

Have fun watching and know that you are loved!
