This was the year that kicked everything into motion. I launched my website, completed my first collection called Zara and the Lion, had my first solo exhibition at The Nesting Box Gallery, and began selling prints + originals. From there I became a part of the local retail scene, joined an artist’s collective where I participated in group exhibitions and markets, and began a collaborative mini series with an up-and-coming fantasy author.

I have big plans for the years ahead, and am currently not accepting commission offers at this time. I’ve got ideas for a couple different series I’m really excited about, and expect surrealism to play a much bigger role in my work moving forward. As I’m still navigating the transition to motherhood and what that looks like with my time management and being able to work on art, my progress is slow and my social media presence is virtually nonexistent, but I’m okay with that being where I’m at right now as I’m still working away behind the scenes
