      Thank you for letting us in a bit! Creating and sharing intimate art journal pieces is both cathartic and scary. In the end, I always hope its the healing process that shines through.

      I am overjoyed you received a Froggy Favorite! Gaelle beat me to the punch, lol! You have an amazing style! You blend like no other...and create a rhythm and flow throughout your art pieces that guides the viewer through a journey. Here, there is overarching happiness and joy...but the black, charcoal looking edges let me know the happiness is tinged with something else. Overall, I am left with feeling hope, though.
