A humble hobby artist who loves to draw her cat, and other things.

Now I connect with art in other mediums and it feels much better.
Even before social media, I drew daily for a friend. I drew comics and illustrations every day at school to give to my friend with the hope sheβd like them or even respond with her own drawings. So graduating to social media attention felt natural.

I never got a professional art job and instead I got really burnt out from drawing. As I shifted careers and focus on job hunting again, Iβm re-examining my relationship with art.

Recently drew this P-51 Mustang for my step-dad for Fatherβs Day. He loves that model plane and I appreciate how much heβs stepped up as a parent in my life when he didnβt have to.

My momβs birthday is today so I colored/painted this shot of a video she took during her recent vacation to Hawaii. She really enjoyed this view in particular.

Please be patient with me. I'm deciding whether or not I want to repost old art here or just start fresh. Probably the latter. I also want to make a new icon and banner soon.
Anyway, nice to be here!
